The feedback so far has been short of what I thought the interest was, but I expect it to pick up once we get more attendees confirmed. Fall in Texas is usually very, very nice, by the way... I'm posting this on GT40s.com, SCPOCA (our local Space City Panteras forum) and the Detomaso forum so...

By the way, we have had some large events at TWS with the Pantera folks. Go here and browse through our previous events: Track Events Kirby

Yes, the plan is September 28-29 with The Driver's Edge. For the track event, their registration starts on July 28th, as I indicated previously. They have been known to fill up quickly, so the early bird gets the worm in this case. I can start listing attendees, if y'all want me to, and...

Jack, If there's not enough interest here, that's not a problem. I have two confirmed GT40's going to be there! :thumbsup: If you come, that's three. Julian has said he's considering it and he's coming from Reno! I have four Panteras confirmed (two other maybes) that will be there...

I can answer some of that... I think. 1) It was the Kohler International Challenge Elkhart Lake's Road America, Inc. | Kohler International Challenge with Brian Redman presented by FORD 2) It was the 45th Anniversary of the GT40, which, along with Kohler's advertising coverage, gives a...

Daryl, See Bill's post. I have exactly what he's linking to in the Pantera and the GT40. I think I got mine from Pegasus though or maybe JEGS or maybe Summit... Probably Pegasus. :laugh: Regards, Kirby

Mike, It'll be a challenge, for sure. It's kind of a chicken and the egg thing. I will call Rick tomorrow if I can and see what he would do if I asked to buy out the whole event. But in my experience, they want 'X' number of attendees guaranteed, but someone has to up front the $$$ to...

The track event is usually in the $295 - $315 range for the two days. Figure $100-$150 for a hotel per night. The nearest port would be good old Houston. A little over 2 hours drive to College Station. Regards, Kirby

The subject of a GT40's 'get together' was brought up in another thread and Texas was mentioned.... There are quite a few of the cars in the state. I've organized this kind of thing for the Spacecity Panteras club (we've got a damned good club here, in case anyone asks) and could do something...

PS: See the Driver's Edge schedule here. The Drivers Edge How about September? Nice fall weather in Texas....

Well, uhhh.... ahem.... I have done this before with the Spacecity Panteras Club here in Houston. We've done TWS (Jack and Mike have both been there before), Texas Motorsports Ranch and Houston Motorsports. I too would love to run COTA, but it would be mucho expensive, as has been...

Getting in late here... Dennis asked me where I wanted mine. I asked where were they supposed to be? I ended up with it behind the passenger. FWIW, Kirby

You know.... just for the hell of it, we should at least meet up once, Doug! :thumbsup: I live west of Conroe. Not that far away! Kirby

I have an SPF MkII and I'm 6' 2". I struggled with the seats that came with it and had to remove a lot of foam from the bottom and back when I first got it from Olthoff. I ended up making my own seats with hardly any foam on the bottom and back. If I am in the car positioned comfortably...

I was asked a question today that I couldn't answer... Lola's and McClaren's did not have 180's. Why did the GT40 have 180's? Who decided it should have 180's? Wondering in Texas, Kirby

And.... just in case y'all didn't notice... and being insulting... There are 3 pages on the forum. The drag racing pics took me back to my college days at Kansas State and Manhattan Raceway Park. Ah, yes... the good old days. 'The Little Red Wagon'.... never expected to see a picture of that...

Lots of pictures from road racing, drag racing, Bonneville, etc. You will find several pictures of GT40's... Vintage Racing Cars in Kodachrome - Your Contributions are Welcome! FWIW Kirby

Yes, that is correct. My engine is a Ford Racing iron block, i.e. a 351 Windsor style. The piece I had to weld is bolted to the chassis as per the pictures, it just didn't have the bottom important bolt on either side. Dunno' why, but they are there now! The Chevy rubber mount (pictured...

Jac, Yes, from your description, that is the case. I didn't take any pictures, other than the broken bit, but Alan's pictures should show you what I was talking about along with my pictures. I took the rubber pieces out and replaced them with solid mounts. I used the upper brackets that...

The right side was broken, as I noted previously. Fortunately, the left side was not. It was just loose and needed a bolt in the same place. But what a pain... the right side is pretty easy and accessible. The left side is not. At least, on my car.... The shift cables are in the way, the...
