Not very, I'm in the Philly burbs, but I would have travelled. Seems like the only opportunity to know for sure which of the two I'd want.

Everyone I talked to was within 3 hours of Lime Rock. That may have been it

Chris, there was one guy there yesterday from Toronto, and I heard another guy say he was from Virginia.

A couple of the upstate NY guys had a 6 hour ride to get there.

oh, no shit? Damn. I wonder how they picked who they picked then.
It seemed it was 12/13 Boss and 13/14 Shelby guys who bought new only

I heard being an original owner was a requirement, too. But, a guy I talked to bought his '12 Boss used, from a Porsche dealer. It sounds more and more random.

One of the guys on the focus forum has only owned a Focus ST as far as I know and was invited.

He has some good history with NASA or SCCA or something.

The marketing guy I talked to at Road America said they wanted to set up the same style events for the introduction of the Focus RS next year. I'm wondering if it will be for the ST crowd, or if any of the SVT vehicles will qualify you. I would love to go again next year and thrash an RS.

Damn, this thread is NOT alleviating my discomfort, lol.

I hear you as I would have figured I would get an invite given my Mustang purchase history. I'm happy to travel.

Chris, thanks again for sending me the photos of the cut-in-half GT350 wheel. You provided me with the level of detail I needed to recreate the design. I've got the base CF portion near completion and am working on the hub insert/lug nut inserts. Work in progress but I'm getting close.

From what I understand Wednesday was for press and for dealers, Thursday was for competitive make customers and also for select boss and Shelby owners

Chris, I've noticed what looks to be Bob's oil separators on some recent GT350's. Did any of the cars at the event you attended have them?

Here's a recent clip of the Motor Trend test car that shows one plumbed into each side of the engine.

Yes: but we were told they wouldn't be on the production car. They're really big. Not 100% sure if they will or won't be. I think they put them on these due to the heavy use/abuse

I understand that they (Bob's separators) wouldn't be a production part. I was curious as to how detailed they were being in terms of measuring the amount of fluid accumulating in them or not and if they were considering a separator in the future.

They didn't say much about them other than they wouldn't make production.

But I find it interesting they were even on there
