Brian that is one heck of a test, if not to far out of the way stop by the my house! Make sure to get some ear plugs!
Gave any thought to VIR and Road America? I am very happy for you!

Great looking car! That should be a fun first drive, please take pictures along the way to share with us.
The car is right hand drive, wide body (per #1075) with Avon tires. Engine is a Roush 427 w/8-stack injection. My dad and I have always loved GT40s, especially the 1075 car. Driving it nearly half way across the US is going to be an adventure!
Brian
Good luck. Have a good time !!
I wish you well and have a great time, however, you might be wise to do a 200 mile or so shake down around dennis's area before taking off. As good as Dennis is(he has worked on several of my cars) these cars tend to have teething issues. driving in the rain is to be avoided also. the big Avons will not do well in the heavy stuff and the car will leak. Be careful
Chuck,
Good advice. I am having the wheels w/Avons shipped back and driving on the second set of standard rims with stock tires. We were going to fly out this past weekend but Dennis also stated the rain warning....so we hope it will be a go this weekend. Will take plenty of pics and post them.
Brian
Great looking car!! Have fun !!

love it!
Cannot wait to see the pictures.
Request, still have the NSX? Can we see one with a side by side? Would love to see the NSX look like a big car for once.
Hi Brian, just wondering what size wheels and tires are those? Are the wheels 15's ? They look great!

Hi, would you know if I can use that size rear wheel for a MKII ?
Thanks,
Dave
Thanks,
Dave
What part of KS are you located?
Probably not, the offset would have to be different. Since this car has the wide rear, the wheels are still tucked in. I do not believe that the MKII is nearly as wide. Dennis would know though.
Brian
Made it back to Kansas today from NC....nearly 1,200 miles. The car ran fantastic without a problem. Below are a few pics from the trip including my Dad taking a quick nap in the holding seat. We drove back on the 15x10 rims which is why the tires/fenders on the rear look a little funny in the road pics. I cannot say enough about the great job everyone at Olthoff Racing did. I will post more pictures later.... got to get some sleep now.

Good for you dude, I worked in the garage yesterday getting ready for the Big Bend Open Road Race. I bet your shoulders are sore. Can you still hear? Did you have Dennis put the thick window in?
