That's right, 45 years ago GT40s took to the track. I went to the 30th reunion and first layed eyes on my Spyder. Good Gawd, has it been that long ? Brial Kissel pointed out that there is information on the Road America website and it is really a great year to attend the event (The Kohler International Challenge with Brian Redman-previously known as the Brian Redman International Challenge or BRIC). Whether you camp at the track or stay in town, it is a big time-HUGE. If you wait too long to decide to go or make a reservation, you will be staying out in the boondocks and have to limit your socializing accordingly.
