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...

GT350 under braking Here's the same car under braking. These pics are a great help in setting up the cars. John

GT350 at the same spot Here's my GT350 at the same uphill spot....YeeeeHaaaa! Looks like I should enter this thing in a rally????

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!

ZF going back together...

Another shot from the rear...

Front view....

ZF on the bench

Ron, As Requested, here are some pics of the work. It's amazing how small the car looks when the rear frame is removed and the nose is off the car!

Gary: Hi, we have not corner balanced the car yet. Actually right now we have the ZF out of the car replacing the ring & pinion set, also the heads off replacing the valves. When the R & R work is done we hope to corner balance the car prior to Sebring & Daytona. Hope all is well with you. John

Len, Sorry about the delay in getting back to you. I used the front/rear spoilers first at the Monterey Historics. The front end is certainly more planted than it was at California. I did continue to have a loose rear condition under heavy braking, in fact I did have a spin going into the...

Gordy: Hi, I'm looking for a ZF for my GT40 #P1043. Currently has a first generation ZF with exterior linkage. I'm now racing the car frequently and it is begining to give me trouble. Is your ZF set up for right hand drive/shift or left drive/center shift? If it is the later, what is the...

Re: Almost EVERY new Ford GT is on Ebay. Haaaaaaa!!!! Hey guys: The price continues to go down \/ !!!!! I just checked the completed auctions on Ebay...the last two this week were under $175K. My local Ford dealer (and the one who wanted to charge me $200k over sticker 9 months ago) is...
