Not sure if the timing between Dearborn 2013 and Woodward will drop on the same date.  We're hoping.

Any updates?  With the wife's vacation days situation it is looking like we may have to choose between the Bash and Dearborn.  If Dearborn is combined with Woodward and a Canada cruise ( :happy feet: :happy feet: :happy feet: ) then it will definitely be Dearborn.

Just an update   as previous stated that we are trying to combine it with the Detroit Bash but a date hasn1t been firmed for that as of yet. Also being a new region there is the SAI licensee agreement to be finalized. The good news is we are have a planning meeting this Saturday.

Glad to see there is still some interest out there.  Was starting to get the feeling that it was going to be allowed to just fade away.  I canceled plans to go to the Bash in favor of this event.  A driving tour of this area of Canada has always been on our bucket list, just never had the proper "motivation".  Vacation time has already been reserved (must be done almost a year in advance) so we will be going regardless.  But it would sure be more enjoyable with our Team Shelby brethren!

Although I'm sure not looking forward to driving that many miles without a radar detector!  B)

My first post ...... my wife and I are interested in this proposed caravan from Dearborn to Halifax.  Would like to have an idea on what the time frame will be for booking vacation time.  Looking forward to driving the car and seeing eastern portion of Canada with fellow TS members ......  Barry

We still don't have firm plans as of yet
We need the Dearborn dates to be set and to get the Ontario Region plans set in place and the bash will be taking all of the director's time up and we can send updates after the event

Hope this helps

I'm pulling the plug on this event, its taking too long to put dates and details together.... We had to put a stake in the ground, so my wife booked a cruise instead.

Maybe next year...... :shrug:

Sorry for not updating you on what is happening . It has been canceled for this year as we are still working with SAI  in setting up the Regional Club which requires  alot items to be cleared before we go ahead.
We  hope to be able to hold a track day this year sometime in the fall we will keep you posted.

It seems that this event has been sadly doomed since the beginning almost ..... too much attention being paid to the Vegas Bash was the first reason I seemed to sense. An event of this magnitude needs to be in the planning stages atleast a year ahead to be able to properly allow members to get holiday plans arranged and hotel blocks reserved along the way ..... perhaps a lesson learned for the "next" time.  Think there should be enough interest Robert for you to try again.  Our cars need to be driven and enjoyed.
