Re: Cars at HSR Sebring & Daytona Veek: Sorry about the late reply. Yes, I will have a garage spot, I'll be set up with the guys from Klubsport Racing, They're a Porsche shop from West Palm. They've been kind enough to store my GT40 since Sebring and keep it safe and dry from "Wilma". Hope...

Len: Just completed the HSR Event at Sebring with the GT40. The new gear ratio is steep, but I still managed a first place in class. As for your observations...I found myself in 1 gear lower than usual to get the jump out of the corners. I can still out accelerate most of the cars in my...

Hey Gary!!! Great to see you back. I heard about the trip back from Calif. and the extended stay in NYC. I'm glad everything worked out. Will you be racing anytime soon? I'm running the GT40 & GT350 at the HSR Sebring and Daytona events. I don't think anyone else from Cobra Automotive is...

Setup under Braking Here is is, again at Limerock, entering Turn 1. Top speed about 147 MPH braking down to about 60 MPH.

GT40 Airborne???? Gary & Len: Just got these pix of the GT40 at Limerock. We cranked up the rear spoiler to the max for this event, and really got the feel of the fronts. Here's a picture of the car cresting the uphill. Probably 105-110 MPH. I'll take any amount of downforce I can get right...

ZF & Clutch Ron: You get a gold star for spotting the early -1 ZF!!!!! Yes, it is the infamous 1st gen ZF with all of it's problems. It is actually the orginal which came with this car. I am searching for a later model ZF to race with, so that I can put this one is storage. This trans is...

Cars at HSR Sebring & Daytona Dan: My GT40 is scheduled for the HSR Sebring event in Oct. (as is my GT350). I also plan on running it at the HSR Finale at Daytona. I know of two other guys with GT40's who might go to Daytona. If you go to either event, please look me up. I have met a...

Dan: Most vintage race organizations, HSR, SVRA, HMSA, want vintage cars with original racing history. Lacking that they look for authentic, period-correct cars. In the case of GT40's there are so few of them racing that when they have a very close replica like Fran Kress's car or Bill Peter's...

Nice pic of the car in traffic at Monterey Historics...This is the way I prefer to see it!
