What's the chance of a GT parade down the strip ?

That would be crazy fun :thumbsup


Good thought. Barrett Jackson has one for the auction. They close the strip south bound to traffic for about 20 minutes. Cops at every intersection to stop cross traffic at all the streets and a rolling escort down the street. I can't imagine the cost.

It is a really awesome drive. People on all the bridges and folks actually run out from the sidewalks to take pictures. Someone ran in front of me in my Cobra to get a picture, I had to stop and a cop came by behind me and pushed the spectators back off the median. It was really kind of a rush. I did it twice (once in my Mustang, once in the Cobra) Luck permitting, in the GT this fall !!!!

:biggrin ... actually it is quite the opposite way around ..... I had unlimited Makers Mark & icecubes in my room - which attracted a rather large group of prominent FGT Forum members - probably more than the room was approved for :biggrin:rofl - and between the many toasts for Bony .... it was quite a party :wink:biggrin:lol:facepalm:

So Terry, don´t be afraid of me it the room .... be afraid of who I invite :biggrin:rofl:lol:cheers:cheers:cheers:cheers

:facepalm::cheers

Tony, in the past people have stayed across the street at other hotels, camped out at the track, etc.

They were still able to attend functions at the host hotel if they were registered for the rally.

I don't think it would be an issue.

Thanks! Just wanted to know the proper protocol.

Proper protocol is to buy everyone in the bar a drink.

I'm betting this happens often, which is why I mentioned I have a chauffeur that will be sure I'm safe :)

Now here's another. Can I leave the GT in the secure hotel parking area and still take the trip out to the track with the pack ? I mean, the boss will collect me from the hotel, and probably even bring me back :)

In my limited experience of 2 Rallys I found that everything always has a way of working out. Lots of accommodating folks.

If you are afraid leaving your FGT behind in the parking area, just let me drive it - I´ll be happy to help :wink:biggrin

I asked some of the AZ experts to put some stuff together. There are some pretty sweet rides if you're willing to make it a bit longer trip.
