ViperNC Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Blake, will 2016 be the year you can finally join in on the fun! I would like to think so. I have been doing a few solo drives in the GT500 and the Cobra up in the NC mountains over the past few years to make up for missing on the group drive.

gt67 Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 I get a little emotional when it comes to friendship and will truly miss seeing Vic. I have know him since the beginning of Team Shelby and I first meet him on the first Florida Shelby event in 2008, Horsepower on the Horse Farm, which buy the way his GT500 won the award for the most horsepower. One of the many fondest memories was when Vic,Jim and I were coming back home through Atlanta and Jim took the wrong turn. Maybe next year Vic. Good to see Frank and Jean might make the run again, if they do, don't forget those special Washington cookies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT Yes Day 2 starts and ends in Max Meadows, VA therefore departure home will be from Max Meadows, VA. Max Meadows is near expressway vs. Boone requires some back road driving.

GT500-2007 Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 12 hour drive to get there and then a 12 hour drive to get home........that alone will be an adventure.......at least last year I had company for a good portion......hopefully someone else will join in so I can rallye for at least part of the trip.

Rumors Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Yes was same for us. 12 hours to get there and/or home. Haven't checked mileage on this but am assuming will be close to same. Us snow birds have to travel far to get away from this stuff. My car still at painters. Hope it gets time to cure so I can protect it well before trip. Big factor, but painter says not to worry.

VNMSNK Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Really Wish I could make this trip this year. The last 2 years it has occurred at the same time as my company meeting.

Rarecat Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Getting closer to committing. The GT-500 is down with a slipping clutch. Have all the parts to do the job and can probably get it done in time. The wrinkle is that my new DD is a 2015 Mustang w/2.3 Ecoboost.....am leaning towards driving it instead of the 08. It handles so much better than the GT-500 and is definitely a drivers car..... I know, first world problems and all that.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right, it is a driving machine. Told the wife if we had more garage space, I would go buy a new one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ummm, sounds like your committed as you have 2 cars to choose from (What's the wrinkle with a 15 Mustang? after all didn't we have a Fire Chicken in the group one year? ) The important part is for you and Jean to join in on the fun this year! Really Wish I could make this trip this year. The last 2 years it has occurred at the same time as my company meeting. I had so much fun driving in the mountains and would really love to stretch the new car's legs! Hopefully you can get them to change the meeting as we want to see the new car!
