We can go cow tippin, drive some tractors, hang out and party with some in-laws and see who can grow the longest mullet! :lol

Tom IS PROBABLY THE UNSUNG HERO OF THE GT PROGRAM ;
Tom Reichenbach, Vehicle Engineering Manager, Ford GT
Tom Reichenbach's first car was a wrecked 1959 Corvette, bought from a junkyard a year before he received his driver's license. Reichenbach, with his brother and father, spent three months restoring the car, from refinishing the body to repairing the engine, transmission, differential and brakes. That experience got Reichenbach interested in everything that makes a car go, stop and turn.

As the vehicle engineering manager for the Ford GT, Reichenbach is responsible for everything that makes the supercar go, stop and turn. Reichenbach reviews the impact each proposed design change has on the overall feel and performance of the Ford GT. To ensure the Ford GT meets all of its performance targets, Reichenbach also oversees aerodynamic, vehicle dynamics and chassis development.

Reichenbach holds a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from Michigan State University as well as a master's degree in mechanical engineering from University of Kentucky. Reichenbach started at the Ford Electronics Division, where he developed on-board electronic systems for Ford Racing and the first fuel-injection system on a Champ car. This led to his assignment as vehicle dynamics supervisor for Ford Racing, where Reichenbach provided technical support to Winston Cup, Trans Am and Formula 1 teams. Also of note Tom is a 2 time SCCA national champion .
Best of all a truly wonderful, fun person ,who I am honored to call my friend .
Tom don't tell anyone that you made me kiss the ring !!! Ya it was worth it !!!!

...and he can party like a rock star. At least that's how I remember it!

Cheers,
Waldo
