Does anyone have reliable production numbers for deliveries to the USA and Canada, including their geographic distribution? I'm wondering if there'd be enough cars to make a National Rally worthwhile next year? The geographic distribution would help decide the best location to hold it - obviously somewhere central to all, preferably at or near a good track (such as VIR, Laguna Seca etc)
If it proves feasible, we could for example;
- get some form of sponsorship from one or more dealerships to help defray the costs
- get key McLaren personnel along, such as Anthony Joseph, Sherif, Stevenson, Goodwin, (Ron?!) etc to talk about the genesis of the car
- hold driving schools with e.g. Goodwin
- get a GT3 car along
- get other milestone McLarens to attend such as F1, can-am cars, etc
- generally have a jolly time
I've been to a couple of Ford GT rallies organised along these lines and they've all been great fun and have resulted in new friendships around the country.
This might sound a bit premature, but these things take a good deal of long-range planning, so a Rally in say, Q1 of next year would need addressing pretty soon.
I'd be happy to help with time and effort if it looks to be feasible/practical.
Just a thought......
