    3.90 ring and pinion (available again)

    3.90’s aren’t ideal for the mile. I shift into sixth at 185 approximately 3 seconds or around 800 feet from the one mile line, at one mile I’m usually 195mph. It takes a mile and a quarter to get over 200 usually depending on weather. I have done a 218 mph run with the 3.90 whipple gen two car...

    Ford GT Forum 200 mph Club & Standing Mile Results

    Don’t see why not, Flagstaff GT did it at Mohave. The site at Victorville is better than Mohave and I think we’ll have better speeds with decent weather.

    Anyone else out there into boats?

    Not familiar with Rockholt. Ours were basically Craig Crafts that we built. Motor was an A stock Mercury mark15 built back in the ‘50’s. Of course they were completely rebuilt with a hodgepodge of parts from every production year. Heck guys even used a crank from a chainsaw motor that mercury built.

    Nico Rosberg retires from F1

    Verstappan and most of the big names fall under the CRB, unless Merc wants to spend huge $ to pay for both the driver and team he leaves none of the big names (Ferrari, Red Bull, McLaren, Renault) are going anywhere. Bottas is the one I suspect will be tapped, Wolff client, not expensive...

    Ford GT Dealer Service Documents

    I'm sure that Ford has given some thought to hauling the car. I take the trailer recommendation as a helpful guide to potential service centers. Looking at the specs I see a 5000# electric winch is included so I'd think the car would be winched into the trailer. As for optimum winch offset I use...

    Sportscar Market April/June

    I used to subscribe and do recall that he was down on the GT based on the numbers built. Their were a lot of smart people that felt the same. I thought from some of his recent statements that he was coming around. Possibly he figures at some point he has to be right vs. being wrong.
