A nice perspective on Henry Ford 2, and his commitment to the '60's LeMans program.

Nice find Rex!

Ahhh to have a race program with no monetary limits! Now that's how you dominate the field.

Not quite sure that is feasible in today's environment....but maybe. Let's hope so!

Think: Whitespace, where you try to move away from money as the sole differentiator. Everyone throws money attempting to gain an advantage/solution. Perhaps having greater technology than your competitor, and the real key ~ application without error ~ may be the edge that you need. Easily said.

Application without error puts Indy out of business.

Who says he isn't? I'd be listing his name above the driver door (as a co-driver) on the GT if I were running the program. You just never know... :wink
