Many thanks to Shane and Joyride for putting together a very nice website for Rally registration, and many thanks to our title sponsor for Ford GT National Rally V, Classic Auto Insurance. In the future, we'll get galleries up of past events and when the event starts we'll have the detailed itinerary up and available so you can check stuff with your mobile phones and what not. The redirect may take a few seconds.

In case you missed it, Ford GT National Rally V takes place September 29th-October 1st 2010. This year's rally will feature:


  • 2 days(!) of track time at Virginia International Raceway
  • Access to the kart track at V.I.R
  • Access to the skidpad at V.I.R
  • Thrill rides with SVT driving dynamics engineers like Mark McGowan and Gene Martindale
  • Track instruction from driving dynamics engineers and Ford GT Forum experts like Ron "Roketman" Savenor and Andy "Specracer" Bentinck-Smith
  • Panel discussion and Presentation on Ford GT topics with FMC engineers and FGT Team Alumni
  • Rally Artwork designed and signed by FGT Chief Designer Camilo Pardo
  • Lunch served at the track
  • Dinner at the world famous Angus Barn Pavillions
  • Dinner and Auction at the Umstead Resort and Spa
And this year we're going to focus more on interaction with team members, so they'll be alot less running around. We're going to put together a nice panel this year for Q&A and presentation, and Jamal won't even have to get hammered over half-shaft bolts! While we're gonna have the same faces that have always been there like:

  • Ford GT Program Manager Jamal Hameedi
  • Ford GT Chief Designer Camilo Pardo
  • Ford GT Driving Dynamics engineers Gene Martindale and Mark McGowan
  • Ford GT Package, prototype and launch supervisor Kip Ewing
We'll also have some new faces like Ford GT Chief Technical Adviser Neil Ressler to give us fresh perspectives on the development of the Ford GT and the history of the program.

I don't want to put any undue pressure on them, but we've also talked quite a bit with Matech team owner Martin Bartek and Mr. Matech GT1 about attending the event. We can make no guarantees, but the team at Matech are talking about sending the GT1 development car and perhaps Thomas Mutch to V.I.R to present about the development of their program and give rides in their car, as well as sending a bunch of Le Mans raced items for auction. Any interest in that? :biggrin

For 2010, the event price is $720 for the first attendee and $420 for your guests to hopefully make it more appealing for spouses and friends. The Umstead Resort and Spa is a beautiful hotel in a really nice area with much to do in the surrounding area. You can book your hotel now:


http://www.theumstead.com/index.cfm

100 Woodland Pond
Cary, NC 27513
(919) 447-4000

PLEASE CALL BETWEEN 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM and if there is confusion reference the group code FORD0910!

Rooms are limited, so PLEASE book as soon as possible. The hotel is VERY full already and we've already had about 65% of our allotment booked.

Hope to see you there!

Just an FYI, to pay without a Paypal account, just click the link as shown when you reach the payment page. I'll see if the Joyride guys can't get that link bigger.

Everything in Moderation.

Gentlemen,

Chip & Veronica are paid up and dialed in.

Here's the world famous Roman Grosjean diving into the second chicane on the Mulsanne straight after lapping the fastest of the GT1 Corvettes on his way to victory at Le Mans. Walter Mitty is having a fabulous drive today! He looks untouchable!!! :biggrin

See you there! :banana :banana :banana

DBK - make sure to add me to that "Registered List". My late night testing of the process was not just a test, it was a legit PayPal payment for registration.

I'll PM you on the last few remaining items.

I've registered my wife and I, but as normal my experience with PayPal is less than satisfactory. I didn't get any type of confirmation that I had successfully completed the payment process or the registration process. I was just sent back to the page that says Transaction Results with the grey button saying "Make Payment".

DBK - Plesas advise if my registration didn't go through and I will try again.

Thanks,
Magic

Renee and I are all signed up and paypal is sending the money. Look forward to seeing old frends, meeting new ones and leaving some rubber on the track. (no paint just rubber). Do not plan to bring any mud home from the track like fjpikul (Frank) did from Joliet.
