Could be interesting.  Ford GTs welcome?   This is only about 450 miles from here...

P.S...   George Anderson and Gessford Machine is the premier old-style engine builder.  He's noted for wonderful 427FE ("Side Oiler") rebuilds, but also puts together a mean new build Shelby 427 Aluminum block engine.    He's also a Shelby Cobra dealer so I would expect a few Cobras to be out to play

[twobjshelbys]

You might drop this on the Cobra forum www.clubcobra.com.  Might draw a few midwesterners from there too.

Sound fun and prices are reasonable......

Tony, after much thought we decided that NO Ford GT's will be allowed. We just dont want to attract "THAT" kind of crowd.

Of course or GT brothers are welcome to attend. I will also get it up on the new GT forum, www.fordgtalley.com as it wont get deleted there!

BTW - George is a GREAT guy and is really helping us make this a top-notch event!

LOL..... yeah she was suppose to but then they scheduled a C section so if she just would have left the big man in charge do his work Maisie would have been born on the 21st

Do I have to have helmets and extinguishers and all that crap?

I've already determined that I cant' sit in the seat with a helmet.  I either need a gurney bubble or the seat lowering kit . The bubble is quite pricey, and the seat lowering kit is somewhat permanent.  Dang..

A helmet yes, extinguisher no.

You do need a seat kit like Mike had at the bash with his Heritage.

What did he have?    Is it the lowered seat or some other setup?
