The GT Guy LLC is proud to present the 2013 Ford GT National Rally Car show! This event will take place on the grounds of the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn on Wednesday September 3rd starting about 9am. We're happy to be able to bring together Ford GT owners and Ford GT team members to participate in a little friendly competition as a kickoff to Ford GT National Rally 8. Make sure your car is shined up and ready to go on Wednesday morning!
This is a bit different than the usual car show in that the judges were all heavily involved in the design, engineering and production of the vehicle. We (The GT Guy - Rich Brooks and Denis Breitenbach), Camilo Pardo, Mark McGowan, and Scott Ahlman will be participating in the judging process.
The eligibility categories to be judged by all team members are as follows:
There will also be several special categories we hope will add a little special personal history for the winners.
We'll also have some special awards to give out in non-judging categories.
Thanks to everyone that supports us here at The GT Guy LLC and we look forward to seeing everyone in Sonoma! :cheers
(and a quick couple shots of some the GTs we judge the hardest - the ones that leave our shop)
