I have a Sarasota/Jackson Hole friend. He says they expect 50-100K additional visitors that week. Coming from all over the world. Hotels/Home/Condo rentals sold out last year.
It may be hard to find a hotel anywhere along the path of the eclipse.

It makes for a long day, but I was planning on driving up that morning. Leaving Park City around 4:30 am would put us there at 10. After the eclipse, a hike and photo shoot in Tetons before heading back.

Just spoke with the folks from Reliable regarding FGT transport. Anybody else from the northeast looking to bring their car? If they have better visibility on filling a truck, we can get better pricing.

Guessing Reliable will post something regarding setting upo transports for the Rally. They have in past Rally events.

I as well as others from the Houston Area would like a quote also to compare with local haulers please.

Since this is my first rally, I am curious:
Do most GT owners ship their cars?
I plan on hauling mine. It's about 28 hours & 1800 miles for the trip from my house in Louisiana, but I have an enclosed trailer that I will be pulling with my RV. I normally make the drive once a year anyway.

Yea, I got one...too
Andy, Tommy and others having questions on shipping their GT’s to this year’s rally. I have in the past collected a number of zip codes from interested owners to competitively bid transportation to the rally. In discussing repeating this exercise with DBK we think selecting Reliable for this year’s event just makes sense. They have purchased a number of new wider hauler trailers which suite the new Ford GT and in years past recognizing the value of a full trailer of GT’s have upped the liability coverage they maintain for no additional customer charge. Also they are delivering new GT’s for Ford.
As there will be several new FGT’s in attendance this year, selecting Reliable is probably the best fit for our ownership. Watch for a follow-up thread shortly about who to contact at Reliable once the logistics have been worked out.

^^^ Bill, thank you for taking point again. Ask DBK, ive been asking if anyone had reached out to reliable yet or not.
I've hauled to some, shipped to some, even have gone carless (wont do that again). My issue is time. If the haul is more than 12-14 hours, I just don't have the time to haul, so I ship.

I don't know about most, but many do. Many drive, no matter how far. I think shesgotlegs has driven to every rally but one (am I right, Terry?) from Ontario. Quite a few trailer. I will trailer mine. 4,800 miles RT for me.

Yes. Spoke with him today. They do a great job with the cars. We talked price, and he indicated that if he had greater certainty of filling up a load from this area he could probably tighten things up a bit. Once Indy GT (or someone) collects the zip codes, we can probably get more accurate pricing.

I also spoke with Mike today about shipping from Texas and he expects to have a price list by zip code by the end of this week.
