I just registered the other day for the 2014 Carlisle Ford Nationals in the 2013-2014 Shelby GT500 Convertible Class (#112). Additionally I registered for the Ford Parade which is limited to 400 cars. I also joined Team Shelby Northeast Region as a club affiliation.
Being new to the Shelby GT500, I really enjoyed attending several of the local-to-Syracuse-NY car shows last year, and have enjoyed getting to know fellow owners of all types of Mustangs. The rally events (Poker runs) and "racing" events (Watkins Glen) were particularly fun.
The Carlisle Ford Nationals are on a whole new level, and I am under no illusion of winning anything, but it sounds like a fun event and I am bound to meet new people.
Anyone else planning on attending the 2014 Carlisle Ford Nationals?
I look forward to meeting some of you at future events.

The nice thing about this hotel is that it offers the following to Ford Nationals folks:
