robertlane Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 The planning for Dearborn 2014 has already started with new partners last night! Our plans include changing Dearborn's venues up somewhat for 2014 - adding new visits, including one that we're not going to announce until we arrive at the destination. We've also taken some feedback from members, like MSMAP (Sherri) who suggested that we move the Romeo Engine Plant tour after the Michigan Proving Ground Tour. This will insure that we get our laps in on the track and get the meet the engine builders after they being to leave work. 2014 will mark the 5th time that we'll have produced a Dearborn event!

robertlane Posted October 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Robert, are the dates for this event known yet? We had our first meeting last night, yes Sunday, in west Dearborn. While we don't have dates yet, we're way ahead of schedule as to what we're going to submit to Ford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertlane Posted November 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 As a note, the 2014 track part of the event will be restricted to Shelby Mustangs/Mustangs, excluding rentals. We'll post more on this and the reasoning later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertlane Posted November 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 I would like to know the reasoning behind no rentals :-( It has to do with insurance/liability issues. Nothing really to do with Ford itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertlane Posted November 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Poo, Dearborn road trip means more days to take off....... We are taking your advice in making the proving grounds tour occur before the engine plant. We're also adding four more stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
