Great time at the rally! Nice to see you guys again and meet some new people.
The weather was nice too, despite the humidity, the rain held off though.
It would be awesome if we could somehow get right behind the pace car next year at the glen. It isn't as fun when you don't get to go fast, lol. I would love to go there and get a handful of laps and go as fast as I want to.
Can't wait for next year! I'll see some of you for the super cruise though!
It would be great if we can get more cny people to come out next year. It was just Chris and I, and ghig50 (sorry can't remember your name, was it Bill?)

Not bill but Mike I've been called worse though lol
It would be nice to see more cars from cny
its less than an hour drive from Syracuse, seeing how there are hundreds of mustangs in syracuse not too mention the mustangs in the syracuse shelby mustang club still not sure why some of them do not come out.
it was great meeting some of the members on here finally
My favorite part was the cruise down to Watkins Glen seeing a line of mustangs in front and behind as far as you can see was awesome.

I agree with you, there are a lot of cars in the Syracuse area that don't make it to shows and stuff. We'll have to try to get some of them to come out next year.
Since this show is getting bigger, once i have the final dates from the Rally board for next year should we have a board on here to gather as many club members as we can from our club and the CNY area as well as outside the state? We had people from Ohio, PA, Ontario Canada and the Outer Banks, why cant we get members from the CNY and Albany area? We had 40+ cars there this weekend, we should have around 100 to add.
Just my 2 cents, i will be on the board for the Rally next year and we need to really start pushing this hard.

We need a bigger budget to work with. Its unfortunate we don't have enough money to rent the track for the day. Like the Porsche club that does, the day of Finger Lakes Rally.
It would be nice if Ford would help us in someway. With Molly Saleen attending in 2012 it put the show on the map. I've tried getting Ricky Rudd, Jack Roush and Jack Roush Jr., Vaugh Gittin to make the show.
The Trevor Bayne nascar show car. The Bob Tasca show car! Everything costs big money like this!
Thanks to the NY Mustangers that have helped make this show a go!

What is the cost of the track for the day? Is it even available or does the Porsche club have it reserved in advance? Is the Porsche club open to splitting the cost with us and maybe just allowing us an hour or two at the end of the day?
I think something more is needed between lunch and getting to the track. I've heard feed back that it is too long of a gap to hang around and maybe doing an extra long cruise down would be nice. However, getting a little more track time I think would be even better.

I think this is do-able if the Porsche club is willing to work with us. I don't know the specifics but lets say a full day rental is like 8 hours (9am-5pm)? at $10K and we would like 2 hours (3pm-5pm) for example. That would be about $2500. Our normal turnout for the 3 laps is about 40 cars. At $25 a car that would be $1000. If we change the price to $50 per car, we'd have $2000 and we could easily make up the difference. If it can be done, I can create a poll on here to see if people would be willing to pay the extra to have 2 hours vs. 3 laps.
