A few shots from this weekend. Beautiful weather and another great event at Road America.

Ford GT development mule. Beat down. No Ford emblem on hood, horrible gaps, road grime galore. Yes, I'd take it! |

Note internal bracing. Not really a roll bar. No other tubes visible in the passenger compartment. | |

Private GT. Note static cling material to prevent the normal sandblasting you get at speed at RA. | |

Be careful when you close the deck. If you don't center it on the way down you will be sorry. | |

Not a Ford GT, a GT40 or a Pantera, but a very creative use of the space made available when removing the rear bumper of an early model GT-350.
At this size it may be hard to see, so that's a bottle opener there. | |

Pantera loses a rear wheel. Fortunately no secondary damage. | |

Last one.
A couple of nice Panteras in the false grid area. | |

There are some more photos I took that show the details of the Ford GT's four point deck latching system. Looking at it up close, it seems like the components used could easily be adapted to a RF etc. I'll post a link when I get them up on my personal site.
Regards,

GT at speed. Turn 5 again. This car is dead silent. Even going up the hill to turn 1, it is quieter than a stock NA 32V 2003/2004 Mach 1. | |
