We're now up to around a dozen members. I will have the hotel arrangements done sometime next week I hope. Mark McGowan from Ford is coming is his top-secret development car and I may recruit him to give rides! Don't miss out!

Ah, that definitely looks like a lot of fun. It's my actual birthday on that date, so I think I will probably have to pass (Hum the Alanis Morisette Song, Ironic, now, for dramatic effect...). Recall, I did celebrate my wedding anniversary with my wife at the Peterson Auto Museum with Carroll Shelby during Rally II...

So, it's not completely out of the question...

Tim's cool event

Well planned event Tim! When you mention that you may do something - you really mean it! Wow.

I will be in Chicago the week afterwards so I am not saying no at this time. I'm trying to work it out so I can do both. I'll let you know soon.

Tim, can you put up a list. Indy and I would like to get a trailer together to get out there for this.

Special Ed in Chicago? Let me know, I'll drive in and we can go to dinner or party or whatever. DriveBy may be interested as well.

RSVP's So Far 11/25/09

Here's who is coming to the First Annual "Stigs Day Out" track event from the Ford GT Forum so far... (As of 11/26/09) There are about 10 more non-GT member friends who are coming so far as well. I haven't included the guest list, just the main participants. Note that Mark McGowan is bringing a top-secret development Mustang and I hope will give some rides in the GT's for some of you. Also, GT Tech (Rich) is bringing tools and will be on hand to be our personal crew chief. (Thanks guys!)

It's YOUR birthday? In that case, your wife should bring you as a present!! I could understand not coming if it was HER birthday.... :)

GT Event in Las Vegas 2010

Thanks Tim for doing everything for us to make this event a reality. I appreciate it but must; sadly, report that I won't be able to make it. A trip to Chicago then the Mojave Mile in March will make your Vegas event not possible for me. Thanks again!!!

Shoot, you would have been the star of the event. We'll miss you.

A few more have signed up, and a few others are trying to line up transportation. With all my RSVP's from Ford GT Forum and other friends, we're up to about 30 drivers and many guests right now. I'm still waiting to hear from Mandalay Bay, and will post up the hotel info once I have it soon. Thanks to all for your response.

Me too...I hope

I'm a local member of Spring Mountain...I might be traveling in February, but if I'm in town, I'd like to run my GT with you. Is it okay to let you know next month?

Frank, I'll pay your way out if you leave your FGT at home and track my 2 year old son's 1957 Isetta 300.:cheers
