Kirkham Motorsports Summer Event

[1ntCobra]

Can someone from the East Coast fly in and rent a car and join the cruise? Or do you need a Cobra replica? I was just checking the Hertz site and apparently the Shelby GT-H Mustang is NOT rented out of Salt Lake City. Is it possible to rent a sports car in Utah?

How many miles (or hours) are you talking about driving each day?

Just thought I'd see what the deal was before asking my wife is she wants to visit Utah this summer.

Because space is limited, Kirkham cars (and their owners) will have first shot on the cruise.

They do rent the GT-H and GT-H convertible, at least they did last summer. I would imagine that they have moved those cars to southern locations for the winter. One of the rental companies also does Corvettes. Can't remember which one that is though...

We will be driving 5-7 hours each day.

Joe, if I were to come up for the day, maybe two days, but my Kirkham is not running, will there be much to see and do for the "pedestrian"? Thanks.

RodKnock,

Wednesday we will have the driving school and you can participate in that in the schools Mustangs. Although we are not going to have an official open house, we would love to have you come and tour the factory and see where your car came from.

Thursday will be the open track day and we generally have one or two cars from the shop that are available for a few laps for customers and potential customers.

Friday and Saturday are the cruise days and we have had several people ask about open seats and if they could ride along with those that are coming. So far we have not arranged for this, but if we have drivers with open seats that are interested we could make arrangements.

Ron,

Our group rate on the rooms will be $109 a night.


Jamo,

I will remind you when we get closer to that time.

Anyone from the mid-Atlantic region interested in seeing if we can get a group discount from Rich Lacy to haul our cars out and back? I love driving my car, but Delaware to Utah is a looooooong drive.

Lew,

I know of one other guy in Annapolis, MD that may be interested in sharing a trailer.

I will ask Rich Lacy when he is here this afternoon what kind of deal he can make. If we could get the cars in one location for a pickup I am sure it would help.

Let me know if you hear of others that would like to do the same.
