Cool Re: Goodwood 2008

We had a great time at Goodwood!
There were many famous cars and drivers in attendance, Stirling Moss, several old time Nascar guys and while we were waiting to get on the hill we had a great conversation with Bobby Unser.
An incredible event.
Frank Catt and I were able to prep the the Indy car and keep it going most of the weekend, it only caught fire once and we were able to get it to run on the 8 available cylinders most of the time!
This car was built by Smoky Yunick and received quite a bit of attention from the crowd,
he is as well known over there as he was here.
Enjoyed working with Frank Catt and the "Professor" and met several UK GT 40 guys.
Next time we go I hope it will be with our own car.
I have included some pictures for the GT90 guy and the Pantera pukes as there was a very interesting Pantera there that most of us have only seen photos of, this was the prototype of the 1976 Pantera ( if Ford would have continued with Detomaso).
