Thoroughbred Motorsports Rally Schedule for 2011

[pmar6004]

I see from TMS' website that they have posted their rally schedule for this year. I see that they have a Dealers Show coming up on 2/18 - 20 in Indianapolis, IN. Hopefully this means that TMS has resumed production of the current model year and that they will start showing up at dealerships, first to fulfill current orders, secondly, to sell to new interested buyers, soooooooooon!

With 4, more likely 5 more months of cold unrideable months ahead of me, I guess I'm in no hurry to pick up my Stallion when the announcement finally comes from my dealership. It's been 7 months, since I placed my order. I've never been much good at playing the waiting game... I hope the enjoyment that I derive from finally becoming a Stallion owner, whenever that may occur, is/was well worth the wait.

Hang in there. My wife waited 18 months for her first Stallion. Now that she has had one for going on 3 years she said the wait was well worth it.

Hey Ted,
In reading your comments, I thought why so long a wait for your Stallion...? Then I realize that back then, Stallions were pretty much hand built, one by one. The fiberglass body work must have been the most labor intensive. Glad to hear that MJ is happy with her "ride". I trust that I will be as well.

MJ saw a prototype at Daytona in October of 2006. They were not even in production. Production started in Nivember of 2007. Her first Stallion was about the 25th produced and she took delivery in the Spring of 2008.

Thanks Pete for the update, although I wish it would have been more specific. Sort of wish that I was a fly in the walls at TMS :Bug2: Well I guess I'll just have to be patient a little while loooooooonger! The announcement will probably occur at the Dealer Show (mid February), is my guess.

Dont know why people are waiting for a Stallion, check out the want adds there are ones for sale. A good used one is just as good as a new one.

Don't believe for one minute that I haven't consider that, especially now, knowing no 2011 Stallions will be produced. I've been waiting to find out what direction TMS has decided it will go for their 2012 model and what amount of $$$ it will take to buy one. I don't relish missing another riding season, so much will depend on these two issues. So in the meantime, I'm patiently waiting to hear from this forum or my dealership. Hopefully it will be announced by the end March, I'm guessing
