So after 10 days and 4000 miles Lynn and I made it back to home Wednesday night. Crunching the numbers we averaged 500+ miles per day including the track day (we only drove 8 of the 10 days).
I wanted to thank the Ford GT Forum and especially Chip Beck for my award, I am very humbled by this award and it will be hanging it in a very prominent place at our home (when we complete the renovation). Like I always said the Ford GT was the car that brought us all together, it really is a great tight knit family and I am proud to be a part of it. Thank you again everyone this really means a lot to me.

Congrats on the award!!! Well deserved! You have been a great friend and asset to the GT community. When in the history of time has a dead battery been such a good thing back at R1.

How the heck did you get it home?

Great Stuff!

It was such a pleasure meeting you and Lynnette. I can see why the GT community holds you in such high praise Mark. Thank you for making mine and Carol's first rally so memorable.

Thank you Chip and Dave for giving this award to Mark on the Forum's behalf.

Mark you are as good as it gets and we are the ones lucky enough to count you and Lyn as our friends. Thank you for giving so much to so many of us with your time and knowledge. It is a testament to the type of person you are. I have to say every time I see you step out of your GT everything seems right in the world. The honor is all ours.
