Re: SPF MkII at Ford Meet

Mark, Thank you for the nice pictures you took of gt40p2124. It was a pleasure to meet you and find that you make plexiglass parts for gt 40's.
Still learning how to drive the GT on the track completely different than the cobra. The car has so much torque that when you throttle it in a turn it tends to lift the front end enough to allow the front tires to break loose and under steer, a little spooky, any advice from experienced gt40 guys on how to handle this would be appreciated.
I ran gt40p2124 at the Tulsa dragstrip just for grins on Sat at the dragstrip event put on by Shelby Mid America. I was in the zf protection mode (read no wheel spin and no gear jamming) and turned 12.3 seconds at 119 mph.
