Alloy Dave Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 We need to find out where the best show locations would be. I picked some cities at random...but maybe we can get a general idea of the part of the country that fits most people and re-work the poll later.

I think you should have it in Houston and ask Lone Star Ford to help sponsor it...... Being a founding member of the Mustang Club of Houston, there is more history in the above statement than anyone here can guess. For a real suggestion, you should consider joint venturing with the Mid America Shelby Meet in Tulsa each June. Largest Shelby gathering in the country and they already have a LARGE amount of support from both Ford and Goodyear, not to mention the track dates at both Hallet and Tusa International Dragway to coinside with the event. I think they would welcome new Shelby owners with open arms. Great group of folks that have been putting on a terriffic Ford event for better than 30 years.

DVS2XS Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 May I suggest a weekend that would involve some group track time? This might change your locations a bit, but a location with nearby tracks would be FUN. Drags, road course, or even a few hot laps on a round track could be a highlight of the weekend and draw more cars. Who wouldn't want to run their car on Lowes Motorspeedway, Talladega, Road Atlanta, Barber Motorsports park, Indy, etc. - the list goes on. Just something to think about.

orangesnake Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 All too far for me. Tulsa and St. Louis would be good additions to your poll......they seem to be for the most part geographically somewhat center, factoring in population location, and drivablity.

flattusmaximus78 Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 I think it would be best to just ask were everyone thats getteing a gt500 lives, so you get the majority of people that are close to eachother, and go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son of GT Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 I vote for anyplace that's close to the City/Town where Rufdraft lives. If not there, then let's meet at the factory during the Woodward Dream Cruse week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mid America Shelby Meet in Tulsa gives all of the above. Drag time, road course time, everything. I'm only about 45 minutes away, so I will be there again this year. That's where I got my picture taken in the concept last year. I just wish my car was hear for this years event. Does anyone know if Carroll will be there this year. He was suppose to make it last year but something came up and he didn't make the trip. I would love to get something autographed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUFDRAFT Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Son of GT - :happy feet: :happy feet: You got it, baby. I'll rent a tent for the backyard and have some live bluegrass and blues music and some Downeast BBQ - we'll cook us a Pig! :happy feet: I think Nashville might be attractive - they have the Gaylord Opryland Hotel - (huge) and the Nashville Speedway that might be available. If someone can do a Mapquest map wherein we can stick "push pins" - we can see where most of the membership lives and go from there? I still vote for my place...

Orf Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 I thought I was being a homer by making my choice. It turns out to be the biggest vote getter. Cool. I'm in. Actually, I'd probably be in for anything east of the Mississippi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingCobra. I'd deffnitely goto Michigan...as long as they don't announce rain...okay I'd still go...but I'd have to stop every twenty minutes or so to chamois.... I'm in that would be a fun drive! If we timed it right and all left Toronto at the same time there'd be a bunch of us all heading down GT500 convoy! Cheers, Requis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
