31 GT's and counting......

Gentlemen,

This event is filling up rapidly and it's going to be a blast. Many of you have attended parties at my home before and if you didn't like it back then...........well you probably won't like this one either!! But if you are a typical GT owner/enthusiast....you'll have a great time. This event only has room for 35 GT's so the next 8 to sign up are in. Everybody else will be hosed!!! I'm confident we'll have 35 GT's at the theater that (true to form) will get there in formation ahead of the Ferrari's!!! Let's roll.

Chip

29 GT’s so far....6 spots left!

Gentlemen,

If you miss these 2 days of GT debauchery you will regret it for the rest of the year. You’re not doing anything on November 10 and 11 anyway so get the hell out here! It’s going to be a good time so fire up that FoMoCo two seater and head to Scottsdale.

Gentlemen,

IMPORTANT INFORMATION......20th Century Fox is doing this premier to gather 35 Ferrari's and 35 Ford GT's in the parking lot of the Cine Capri theater for promotional photos and news media coverage. I was informed yesterday that this luxury theater holds 140 people. 70 for Ferrari drivers with one passenger each and 70 for 35 GT drivers with one passenger each. There are no tickets available for anybody not arriving in a Ferrari or a Ford GT. I protested but understand what they are trying to accomplish. The whole reason they are doing this is to get Ford GT's and Ferrari's outside the theater so filling the seats with owners not bringing a GT or Ferrari would defeat the purpose. I have been contacted by many owners who want to fly in and attend without their GT's. You are welcome to come to my party and on the Monday morning road rally BUT....unless you can find a GT owner with an empty passenger seat I can't get you into the movie. My apologies but I don't control that.

Chip
Chip, count me in for 2 people. Bringing 06 GT. I will pm on names. Thx. Tom

Gentlemen,

There are still a lot of local owners in AZ to contact and the maximum of 35 GT's is certain now. If anybody has an empty seat that is coming there are a few GT Forum members that want to attend but can't get their cars here that need a GT ride to the theater to get into the premire. Below is the latest list.

THIS.....is going to be a lot of fun!

I am beyond excited.

Few questions.

1. Trailer parking - I am trailering from Colorado
2. GT Parking - should I stuff it back in the trailer each night? I am looking at staying in Scottsdale for about 3 nights
3. Dress Code for the Party, Movie and Dinner

Be brave, drive it! We are...

(In jest, of course, I understand there are times / reasons trailering has an advantage!)

Burton,

Out of town participants are staying at the Mountain Shadows Resort in Paradise Valley, AZ. Their info is at the bottom of the first page of this thread. Call them and they can probably accommodate your trailer. If not call me at 602-430-4877 and I'll handle it for you. Your GT will be fine parked outside at that resort at night. Dress code for all events is casual. Jeans or khakis & polo shirts for men are fine. Women should wear short, tight skirts and high heels!!!!

It may be cool, especially in Payson during the rally drive so a light jacket would be good. Honestly you'll look fine in just about anything as long as you're smiling. If you need something just let me know.

Chip

Chip,

Sounds like a fantastic time. Evelyn and I would love to attend your party. I know it will be the "IN" place to be as it normally is. Unfortunately, lacking a GT of our own, we will have to wait for the public release of the showing. I have watched the trailers of the movie so many times that I almost know the dialogue word for word. I'm almost excited about seeing this movie as I was about being selected to be on the 05-06 build team.

Thank You My Friend
See you there.

This event is now full. If space opens due to a cancellation I'll post it here.

Gentlemen,

The enthusiasm of the GT community is always impressive. It's been a while since 30+ Ford GT's have been parked at my home and it's quite a sight. Going to be a fine time!! See you soon.

Chip

Mike with Reliable Carriers called me yesterday and asked if he could send someone to pick up my GT today 10/22/19. “Uhhhh I guess”. So Reliable picked it today and they will be storing it in AZ at their Chandler storage facility until I pick it on 11/9/19. Talk about getting an early start. My GT had only been home from Atlanta for exactly one week. See you in 18 days Chip and everyone.
