Carl Bishop Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 This kind of event is on the 'bucket list', I would love to participate, but financially and time wise I wouldn't be able to make the entire trip this year. However it might be possible to join in for a couple of nights when you swing through the southeast. When do you plan on posting the full route with dates and hotel accommodations? It would be great to see if my wife and I could join in for a couple of days. "Subscribing" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twobjshelbys Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 I'd do it but it would exceed the annual mileage bucket for the GT. You guys did this in Europe too but if you expect Ford GT guys to join you're going to need a baggage boat (as we call them on the Grand Canyon).

DubbsFaris Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 He had a full size Van for that in Europe Tony. He carried all kinds of stuff, even a full set of extra wheels and tires for one of the guys if I remember right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubbsFaris Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 If I know my brother, with the network of Shelby people we have set up across the country, we will have everything we need the whole trip, and be prepared for servicing of any kind. I am leaning towards taking the Raptor and carrying a 20" or two as a community spare. I already carry fuel, portable air and tools when I travel with it, and at least a floor jack and two spares. I would not dare bring the trailer the whole trip though. I might see if I could find an F250 and do that though. The Explorer Sport might be fun for that too though. I have a platform that plugs into the hitch to carry stuff, and the explorer sure can keep up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportscars Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 We will also have a down day half way through so people can get oil changes for their cars (and maybe rest up a bit for the old folks - like me!) We are working on the final details now. I was really hoping to have registration open but the NCAA "bumped" us out of one of our hotels so I am playing catch up right now.

NordicShelby Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Good luck and I hope the event is a success. I wish I could afford it but its a wee bit out of my price range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Bishop Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Well I guess this answers my question in post #13; "What if I can only do part of the trip or if I have a distant relative where I can stay for one of the nights or whatever? You still pay the full price, sorry." It will be quite awhile before I'll be able to dedicate over $10K and two weeks vacation for an event like this. Best of luck and I hope its around when I can...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck and I hope its around when I can...... I have you noted from your previous post. If the trip does not fill up I will work with people who want to do partial trips. I just cant turn down people who want to do the whole trip for partial participants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you please PM me the route through the southeast with the dates to see if it would work in our schedule IF you did partial entries.
