Barrett-Jackson Ford GT Dinner-Scottsdale

[B O N Y]

So have I, but I will be with my forum buddies. Sadly, I have a business dinner Thursday and won't be enjoying the great fellowship.

Waldo,

I don't know of any protected parking at B-J. I will have protected parking at the dinners. I watch the auction every year from the grandstands with a General Admisson ticket.

Chip

Thanks, Chip. I was planning on General Admission tickets and parking the Freestyle with the other unwashed masses (ie other daily drivers).

Dinner

Hello, I'm new to this forum but am very interested in attending the Ford GT owners dinner. Can you please provide me with further information.

Thanks ~ John

Gentlemen,

Last January we had two very enjoyable gatherings of Ford GT owners during the Barrett Jackson auto auction. I would be happy to put it together for this year's gala event as well if there is any interest. The Barrett Jackson auction dates this year are January 13th (Sun.) to the 20th (Sun.). Last year we had dinner at Don and Charlie's on Wednesday night (39 attendees and 14 GTs were there) and at the El Charro Lodge on Thursday night (30 attendees and 12 GTs in attendance). Those two establishments work out well as the food is excellent, the owners are longtime friends of mine and most accommodating, and secure parking can be arranged for those owners driving their GTs. We did not have dinners on Friday or Saturday night as those are the two most exciting nights to be at the auction bidding with your fellow high rollers. Veronica, Charley, and I had a blast last year. :banana:banana:banana Do we have many GT owners attending Barrett Jackson this year and is there any interest in a GT Forum "Rally at the Auction"??

Chip:
I am only going to make the El Charo night (Thurs).
As my wife can't make it I will be gringing Gaddis, a friend , so there will still be 2 of us.
Sadly, I can't bring my GT down from Seattle but will enjoy seeing the others.
Thanks for all of your work on this.
Bob

Big Bob will be here Thursday night by himself. May be bringing the car, but he is not sure yet.

I have some openings for detailing if anyone is interested. These openings are for the 14th and 15th, both A.M. and P.M. slots on both days. If you're in town, and perhaps drove your GT to Scottsdale for the dinners, you can have it detailed before the dinner and show everyone you like to keep it clean :biggrin

Please send me a private message if you are interested.

Drop it off at night, pick it up noon the next day. Drop it off at noon, pick it up before dinner. I will drive you to and from to get your car. :thumbsup

 

[GT Tech]

For anyone interested in having work done on their GT at B-J next week, I'll be in Scottsdale on Tuesday the 15th through Sat the 19th. AZGT has graciously offered me the use of his hoist.(and the garage that goes with it)

I'll be able to do oil changes, half shaft bolt upgrades, mufflers, Trans coolers, etc.

PM Me if your interested.
Looking forward to seeing every one.

Rich - The GT Factory Guy :thumbsup:thumbsup

Chip,

I have now been conflicted out of both nights. I am sorry. If you guys pick a day or night for a group visit to B-J, please post. I 'd like to join you. Or, if any other activities get set up, please post about them. Thanks.

Chip,

Due to logistical issues, it looks like I'll be leaving the GT at home. I'm still planning on four for dinner on Thursday.

Best Regards,
