    FYI - P/1080 to be auctioned at Mecum Monterey (Aug 2024)

    That's where the turn signal switch on 1030 is located. It has a sleeve (a Lucas part) over the toggle switch to extend the switch to make it easier to flip the switch with your hand on the steering wheel. The column switch dips the lights. ---Ben

    Reunion - COVID

    So far it's just been an annoying cough, but that's been tapering off. So far, Ann has tested negative. Boston has regular reporting of virus RNA found in wastewater (a good way to get data when people are not reporting COVID test results). https://www.mwra.com/biobot/biobotdata.htm...

    Reunion - COVID

    I got an annoying cough last night. This morning I took a test and it came up positive. Counting back 5 days, I probably was exposed in Pittsburg. I was a Friday's dinner, had breakfast at the Cranberry Marriott, gave lots of charity rides, had catered lunches at the track Sat & Sun, and...

    30th Anniversary of the 30th Anniversary GT40 Reunion

    30 years ago (July 23, 1994), I was at the 30th GT40 Reunion. While at the Reunion, we talked with people and looked at the GT40s there. Then, while watching the parade of race cars drive through the town center of Elkhart Lake, my father and I got on my cellphone and called a car dealer in...

    GT40s.com meet up at 2024 GT Reunion?

    I'd be interested. I'll probably be spending most of my time (when I'm not volunteering or watching the races) hanging out next to my car (1030). I was told it'll be located near the entrance of the Reunion area.

    2024 Ford GT Reunion, more details

    I heard from another car club that "Clayton Spanger of Photographic Design took over Doug Chadwick's business. His information is Spanglerstudio.com 304-419-0473". The other car club has switched to using drone photography for their annual event.

    GT40 Race

    For all out racing, that makes sense. But I assume that's not a requirement for parade laps or providing rides.
