Sounds great! This week I will start the "Bonyhandi Kalifonia Diet of the Stars" - Makers Mark and only Makers Mark!!! I might be lucky enough (I hope every day) to be invited to a two day event at VIR coming up in ~ two months. I need to drop enough of my "overhead" to fit into that Porsche GT1 in time for this once in a life time event :cheers
When DBK fixes the #%^^# picture posting issues I'll send all the picture as the GT1, '74 930 and many of the Porsche racers (historic) Bony eludes to are for sale :eek
He is keeping the 917 and the 70' 911 Turbo Martini Racer though and what a history around those two cars

How about a central location: Chicago, Kansas City,Dallas, Austin?? Do any of these cities have some good "car guy" attractions??

Orlando has plenty of places to let your GT "unwind".....Rumor has it SR528 goes by the airport too lose for police to use radar/laser, and SR417 has a 5 mile long bridge with no entry or exit points. Also plenty of 5 star hotels and places to eat.

Anybody ready to volunteer to be a liason and propose a mix of car activities, great hotels and things for the non car guy wives to do during the day. Newport had great retail opps for the ladies.... Don't let the cat get your tongue.

Totally ****** Up
It has been suggested that we do a Texas tour for the next rally. Perhaps starting in Houston near the "Texas Mile." Then moving up thru Austin with a long run thru the Hill Country. Finally ending in Dallas with a stent at Texas Motor Speedway, a run on extreme go-karts and a tour of the Unique Performance facility.
Daytonia would be nice too.
Really, I vote we scrap all this non-sense and go to La Mans.

I think Florida would be henious in the Summer. And it it is far away!
Consider this, the West has the best weather in the summer, often low humidity, great tracks, vistas, mountain runs. I know, we just had one here, but the following venues should be considered.
Monterey - Laguna Seca track, close to SFrancisco, excellent accomodations and run potential
Napa - Sears Point Infineon Track, excellent cruising, great venues, accomodations, wine tasting as the best in the world. Superb dining potential in the evenings in the valley. Close to SFrancisco
Vegas - Las Vegas Speedway, Shelby America Headquarters. All the entertainment you could possibly want within about a 4 block area. Incredible cruise potentials including Lake Meade, Valley of Fire, Red Rocks, Virgin River Canyon. Superb restaurants and most likely the best accomodations at resonable prices.
Salt Lake City - Not known for a roudy town, but 20 miles west is the Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Ut
Phoenix - way hot but good facilities if planned in the fall. :thumbsup
The Venue is everything, just ship your car to it. Then you can have a great time and not worry about getting a Shelby GT-H to attend the event.

The National Viper Club has had events in both Texas and Florida. We could use some of their planning from past events for our 3rd event. There are fun things to do in both. We had a family trip to Orlando with Sebring track day and other tracks near by for autocross and 1/4 mile fun Also in Grapevine Texas with great things to do there as well. They have the largest bar in the US maybe world there. I would maybe probably for the time being vote Texas.....
