Today I received a call from a representative of Ford Motor Company, inviting us to take some free laps behind the wheel of the new Shelby Mustang.   John Conley at Panoz Motorsports gave them our name. 

I don't know at this time if it's the GT500 or the GT350.  The date is July 15, which is on Friday, but it might be worthwhile to take a day off, if you are scheduled to work. 

The event is free.  I am expecting more information and an official written invitation in the next day or two, and will post it here.  You don't have to be a paid member, but you do need to be a Fiero owner and part of the club. 

WHO'S GONNA GO?
There are three kinds of men:

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

Here It Is.  Because space is limited and the cutoff date is July 8, let's see if we can get everyone going to post their absolute commitment in this thread.  I will send an email through the club's email address, listing those who will attend.  This is the information they request.  Please do not register as an individual.

Let's make our deadline the 3rd Saturday of this month, June 18.  I'll send in the list Saturday night.  If you aren't registered on the forum, send us an email at  georgiafieroclub@gmail.com 

Hi, Charles,

 

Per our conversation, I’ve included some information below about Ford’s upcoming track event on Friday, July 15 at Atlanta Motorsports Park. Once your club members are alerted to this opportunity, that you or someone from your club send a list of full names and email addresses of those interested, to ----------------------- by Friday, July 8. We will then email each person with a unique user code and instructions on how to begin the registration process.

For those that can't make it, we'll make up for it at Run For The Hills. 

The Motorsports Park had previously offered the possibility of giving our club some laps in the Fieros.  That was several years ago and I don't know if Jeremy is still there.  I'll ask about it when we go.

I am interested. It shouldn't be a problem to break free for that afternoon!

Count me in.

Will put you on the list.  Are you attending the cruise-in next weekend?

Steve, would you email me or the club your email address and phone number?  I need to put that into the email list so they can contact you.

At the moment I have 5 people who'd like to attend.  If there's anyone who thinks they might be able to change their schedule, I can delay submitting the names until next weekend. 

Post your intent here.  If I don't get any more takers, I'll go ahead and submit the list tonight.

I'm still holding out for email and phone numbers of some who've said they'd like to attend. 

Raydar and Tinman, I need your information.  Email it to the GeorgiaFieroClub at Gmail dot Com

I'm sure the number of slots available are limited, so we need to get our submission to them ASAP.

Thanks everyone.  I just emailed our list of 12 people.  Good show.

Hope some of you other members will come out in support.  We also need someone to operate the video camera to capture the good and bad of the event.
