Hey guys,

The Robertsons and H will be bringing their race cars to the Carlisle Ford Nationals on June 2-4. Greg and I will be displaying a couple of the GT1 Matech cars and Micheal will be bringing his GT3 Matech. Here's more info about the parade lap. We welcome any and all Ford GT's and GT owners to join us for the parade lap which will be held on Friday and Saturday at 2pm in Carlisle, PA fairgrounds. We'll also have a special Ford GT display area at the event!

Here's more info about the Robertson GT's as well.

We're also happy to announce that Henry Ford III will also be joining our event too. Maybe he'll even join us in the Ford GT parade :wink (UPDATE: Henry can no longer fit the event into his schedule, sorry!!)

Hope to see you guys there, it should be a great time!

Life is good,

Lance

It's a secret... don't tell! :)

By the way, this will be a SLOW parade around the actual facility. We've never done this before and thought it would be a unique way for our attendees to enjoy seeing the cars in motion. Plus we thought the social media aspect would be really cool too! We're super excited about this year's event. If anyone has any questions, please don't hesitate asking.

DBK, what will you be driving?! :)

It was a recent effort, better late than never?! It'll be pretty special... Just wanted to let the Forum know first hand. We didn't even announce that Henry Ford III will be attending yet. It'll be out there soon.

Cheers,

Very cool. We will be there for the event as we have 1 1967 500 set to be in the indoor 50th display and Ken A. was holding a 2nd spot for another 67 500 survivor condition car that i am scrambling to get driveable . Now I may need to bring a 3rd car a GT to have some fun.

UPDATE: Henry Ford III can NOT make the event due to a scheduling conflict unfortunately. We are working on an alternative, once confirmed I'll let people know.

Thanks for your support!

"Slow" and clutches aren't necessarily a good combination.
