I would say - yes............ :cheers Congratulations on the purchase.!
If Indy GT had decided to go ahead with my plan/offer of fractional interest, that baby would be back in Detroit tonight and we'd be having the rally at Indianapolis Motor Speedway!

No rain would be nice
I would go for a time of the year & location where the driest weather could be anticipated. Texas in the spring, CA from spring to fall, or any other location that has a large amount of friendly highway patrol officers (or Park Rangers for Soroush!).

If it is TX, make sure it isn't during the hail season. I had my fill of the small NV hail during the Rally III drive and I know everything is bigger in TX.
TX hail can ruin more than your day!

Since last year's Rally II, some of you may recall my promotion of Hawaii for, at least, a mini-Rally. Upon my return to the islands, I've met with the owner of the company that flew my FGT to LAX and back. I'm working with her on a special group rate for you all (and also discussed our Le Mans trip for 2010). Alternatively, there are a couple of good shipping options as well and can work on a group rate for that.
We now have a Superferry that boogies between Oahu and Maui. Upon my return from Japan, we'll be joining about 30 - 40 other exotics from both islands this weekend on Maui. I'll try to remember to take some pix so all of you can see what it's like. Next year, another Superferry will be placed into service which will include the Big Island of Hawaii and possibly Kauai. This is the first time in the history of the isles that we're able to drive on and off, it's a short 3 hours between Oahu and Maui, and it's breathtaking scenery.
The other islands have some tracks but Hawaii Raceway Park has been closed. There is a movement underway to get another track built on Oahu; meanwhile, I understand the Aloha Stadium parking lot is used by the SCCA.
Aloha GT - I love Hawaii and the thought of some of the great roads on the islands in a GT. Especially if we did inter-island ferries. Wonder what the attendance would be like and the costs for transport?
Funny though, usually I dream about Hawaii in a different way...riding a beach cruiser with flip flops in the little town of Hanalei on Kauai. But now this will be on my mind.
I'd say:
1. Monterey [we would have to think about noise constraints at Laguna Seca]
2. Detroit [I missed Rally I and this would be cool]
3. Hawaii [sights, great roads, food, entertainment...sights]

Phoenix in the spring is great. However, hotel rooms are high. Good news is access to a couple race tracks, Penske Museum, dry whether, great restaraunts, Bonderant School, etc......

Aloha,
How about a mini rally if it doesn't work out for those of us that have never been to Hawaii??? :biggrin

Mary Jo, I'll definitely put something together and determine how much interest there is in an Hawaiian FGT Rally. In my discussions with many Forum members, there appears to be quite a few of you.
Here's my post from yesterday in case you missed it: "Since last year's Rally II, some of you may recall my promotion of Hawaii for, at least, a mini-Rally.

AZSTAD, we can do the beach cruiser in Hanalei but the FGT cruiser will be much more fun.
Considering we did California last year and Detroit the year before, Hawaii it is! :biggrin
Did I mention Carroll Shelby's ranch is only 3hrs from my house in Texas? I talked to Cleo and they spend a great deal of time there.

Didn't think of that, but it would be a great place to spend next year's b-day, wouldn't it? Great people, fast cars, lots of fun... :banana However, I will still get to see a GT or two for my b-day this year. I'm spending the weekend with some of my Atlanta GT friends watching football. :biggrin

Looks like we're building interest for Hawaii mini-Rally! Hopefully, I'll remember to snap some shots this weekend.
