Just talked to Mark in Victoria and he said it was a clean run with a 7mph head wind and the car ran perfect with even more to go. Wow, Ford Motor Co., This Man needs a new Ford GT! What do you think?

Well done Mark and Kevin!
No need to plead for him, Tomy. He's already getting one. Or so he alluded to somewhere (IG or FB?)

:cheers

I've intended to post up about what an excellent experience I had just last month, having M2K Motorsports massage my new '06 GT up to my personalized fantasy specs! Every phase from the customer service, to knowledge and through execution, was A+.

So makes learning of great things happening for great people an extra buzz!
