If you are not receiving the newsletter John suggested that you go to fordracing.com and sign up for the newsletter there. I believe in your case PT I did send yours on the last week so they may not have updated the distrubution list yet since he can only updated it a couple times a quarter.

Ron

Hey PT. I've been getting all the e-mails here on Ontario.

The Southeast Region has been requested and I will take the Pacific Region,

Thanks for the info guys. I'll wait for a bit before getting worried. Thanks for posting the newsletter to this thread Ron.

No problem I will keep posting the newsletters to this thread.

Ron

I don't see Alabama on here??? Should that be SE region?

That's correct, I have updated the websites to add Alabama to the SE Region.

Ron

I would fall into the Southcentral but honestly I don't think I'm up to the job guys. My husband is a 100% disabled veteran and I am disabled too. I'd love to be a part of the Southcentral group but not in charge of anything so if anyone else is in this area wants it I'll be there if I can!

Most of the work would be just contacting other groups via email to exchange links and car show information that I can post on FPG and American Muscle site since I have now signed up the registry site with them for member discounts.

Ron

just asking when all is said and done ,will GT/CS oweners be able to get this ,,Attachment 71275 :dunno:

From what I was told by John that would be the final goal, but at this point once the site is added to the FPG site then they have to get the production data from the factory and I can't even guess how long that would be. I read a few of the other groups who just got the certificate created and it took almost a year to get them for the members. The package included the certificate, production data and a VIN decoder but I am hoping to get something other than the VIN decoder since our cars do not have a unique VIN number that is different than a regular Mustang GT.

Ron

When you get those sill plates be sure and post some pics.

got my first news letter today, whew, I was begining to worry.

Any update to this?

I emailed John on Wednesday and I have not heard back from him. All I can say at this point is that we are in the "Wait and see" status. I am sure he will contact me once the website has been added to the Ford Performance Group site. As for the certificates it is hard to say when that will happen.

Ron

I just received the latest Ford Racing News e mail today and no mention of anything yet. Keep after them !

Gang here is the lastest update from John Clor that I received today. Work is starting to add the GTCSregistry.com to the FPG site.

Continuing our tradition of providing a direct link to Ford Racing, here is our first installment of "Ask Ford Racing." You ask the questions, we give the straight answers. "Thank you for the opportunity for us Ford Racing fans to communicate with you directly. I am the proud husband of a Ford Motor Credit employee, owner of a 1967 Mustang Sprint Coupe and two other Ford products. I cut my teeth with Falconer & Dunn Racing in the late 70's building NASCAR engines. I have owned a number of Fords over the years, but by far the most fun I have had with something other than a Mustang is my 1979 Ford Fiesta S." http://www.adsmart360.net/Webcontent...ges/morelg.jpg
