sportscars Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 We have four different packages so you should be able to find one thats just right for you. How often do you get the opportunity to say you attended the very first "whatever"??? Ten or twenty years from now you will be able to look back and say "I attended the FIRST Ponies in the Poconos event" This event is the very first Official TS regional event, not just for the NE, but for ANY region! Its going to be a great time and something you will remember for the rest of your life. Less than two months away now. I can hardly wait!!!

sportscars Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 This will also probably be the largest gathering of new GT350's to date. We will have somewhere between two and ten (10!!!) depending on what everyone decides to bring. There is also a good possibility that there will be a new Boss there as well as several Ford GT's. Things are getting VERY exciting!!!! :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweenstang Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Guys - This sounds like a fantastic event that you've set up for this year. Are you planning a Ponies in the Poconos event for 2012? I just ordered a new GT500 and it won't be delivered until June , but it will be well broken in for next year! I would love to get it up to PA, get some instruction, and let that baby run! I'll be keeping an eye out for more info. Wishing you great success with the first one next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportscars Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Too bad about your car not being here in time. I would suggest that you look at the non-track package we have. It would let you come out and meet all the great people and get you a leg up on what to do when your car does come in. Besides, you can do the poker run in any car.....

Getting ready. Picked up the car today after getting some track prep done (fluid, seats, harnesses, clutch/flywheel, pulley, gears) Stopped to see John Lund for a bit road course tuning. Organizing and packing for the me and the car for the track is next but first a little phillies and a few adult beverages. Sean, how many folks do you guys have registered? Excellent! Did you get the "cam" tune? Well, are you asking how many people have ACTUALLY filled out a registration form and sent money or how many people have told me they will be there??? Looks like we will have plenty of room on Thursday but Friday is looking much more full, although we still have openings. I know a lot of people are last minute decisions, but that really causes havoc with getting everything planned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest challenge of the week may be in seeing how much stuff I can cram into the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know if you dont have enough room and have to leave something important behind like beer or dancing girls :hysterical:and I'll figure something out! Or just make John Keller bring it up in his trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just make John Keller bring it up in his trailer. Thanks. John has offered to haul some stuff for me. I think I can pull it off since I could not source another set of wheels. Also, I am heading back to the track the following weekend with another group so I will not have time to get everything back from John in time. Also, I decided to just drive slow so I cannot wear out anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
