FGT insignia pop-up tent for events?

[dtomaso1]

Looking for an EZ-up tent with FGT logos to cover the GT during outside events. A 10x15 size seems to be the right size. I've found the ford racing tent but the 10X15 has been discontinued, it's generic, and at nearly $1000.00 there has to be something better. Seems you pay a fortune for that Ford authorized logo. A custom tent printer will likely not make one without logo authorization. Any ideas?

Thanks, Tom

Why don't you get a tent that is "blank" and re: the logo'ing... get ahold of Trent ie. Not 4N forum member here.. he does great work.

Personally, I wouldn't be putting a tent over my car. The sun isn't going to melt the car but a tent that gets tipped or blown over could give you a really bad day.

:agree:

I've seen too many "accidents" with EZ-Ups when the wind comes up. For our paddock EZ-Ups, we use their 40 lb. weight bags at each corner, and drop the top to the lowest level overnight.

My EZ-Up went airborne at a Reno, NV autocross years ago. It came back to earth upside down & nailed some poor guys Mustang!

Funny and horrific at the same time.

Tents are definitely a potential hazard, but if you do car shows in the middle of summer, completely aside from 'protecting' the car, they provide a nice and much needed respite from the sun and heat. Standing outside in the heat at a car show for an entire day will wipe you out (as I'm sure many at the Sonoma rally can attest).

I've been to too many car shows with these sun shades and have seen them launch across a whole parking lot. One guy had the courtesy to ask if he put his up and I said if he could if he agreed to pay damages to my car and would give me his driver's license. He didn't put it up. I told him if he had good weights the answer might have been different.

At most shows they are required to put them up out of the show area in grassy areas off to the side of the main lot.

At another show all of the shade type things blew away, and even the ones from the vendor area blew over (they were at lest weighted).
