All,
On Daryl's behalf I'm happy to report that the problem is FIXED! :thumbsup: It turns out that Roush had a bad bunch of high-pressure fuel pumps, and this was a known problem on the early cars. The shop working on the car put pressure gauges on the pump and found the pressure fluctuating all over the place. A phone call was made to Roush, a new one beamed to the shop, and they got it installed Monday late afternoon. We picked the car up Tuesday morning, with fingers crossed, and after a quick stop at Daryl's house to pack the car (HAH! Ever try traveling in a GT40?) we had a wonderful and utterly uneventful drive up to Road America.
Jack and Kathleen Houpe, Mike and Paulette Trusty and Kirby Schrader arrived at the hotel a few minutes after we did, and after all four cars were unloaded, we had a fantastic dinner.
Great day at the track today, with quite a few spectator GT40s already present, and the promise of many more to come. There are a bunch of original cars here too, although they are scattered around all over the place; Ford has a big tent that has 13 original cars inside (including P/1040 and AM/GT1, both just rolling shells partway through restoration), and there are probably 8-10 other genuine cars in various other parts of the paddock.
Lance Stander and the Superformance Crew were setting up their trailer today, and I think there were about a dozen SPF GT40s parked in front of it.
If you aren't already here, it's not too late! Come on out!
