I drove one of those Factory 944 Turbo Club Sport endurance cars at the SCCA Escort 24 Hour event at Mid Ohio in 1986 or '87. The car was a blast to drive, but you had to prepare carefully for the turbo lag in certain places on the track. The Corvettes still beat us with all their torque, but it...

Fast Freddy, I also will be there in my 1996 Camaro running in their 175 MPH class (they do not have an Unlimited Class). I will be trying for my 8th placcard on the 200 MPH Club Board. Richard Hille Hille Racing, Inc. (The GT School) 7 Time USAS 200 MPH Club Member 216.9 MPH Top Speed (so far)

If the battery is not fully charged, any one of those electric gauges can malfunction. You might put it on a charger, or if you used the factory trickle charger, you might check the output as they can go bad. Richard Hille The GT School

I am the STIG..... ;-)

I'm going to show my age here.... Back in the very late sixties we were racing 4 wide at New York National Speedway, a dragstrip out on Long Island in the town of Center Moriches. That track was the first place I ever saw Don Garlits, Ronnie Sox & Buddy Martin, Hayden Profit, Dick Harrell, and...

Yard Art.......

I was at a live performance many many years ago, early seventies, and when the show was over, my ribs actually hurt from laughing so long and hard. I had no idea how funny Johnny Carson could be in person. Doc Severinsen also performed and made music from his trumpet that was just incredible...

I got about 10,000 miles out of my first set of Goodyears. I now have only 4,000 miles on my second set, but some significant track time also and they are getting a bit thin. It was my intention to wear these out quickly so that I could go to the Bridgestones for the next set. Skyrex really...

It is a 1954-55 Ghia Desoto - Adventurer II show car built for Chrysler. If you can buy it it is worth whatever someone will pay for it. Likely quite a bit of $$$. It is somewhat famous within the car show arena. Richard Hille The GT School

Chip, All I can say is WOW !!!! Richard Hille The GT School

Ralphie, They actually have wranglers to control livestock, wild horses and other large creatures. Although, I don't believe that this particular section of road is "Open Range", as it is fenced on both sides for at least most of the way. The entire course is under view by course workers. No...

Damn you do nice work Bill. It was a pleasure seeing the start of that project and where it has led. Richard Hille The GT School

Ok Folks, It is now OFFICIAL. I've said it all along, but now we have proof positive...... WHITE IS THE FASTEST FORD GT COLOR !!!!! ;-) Richard Hille The GT School

While I like the looks and the comfort of a few of those EyeTalian cars, the cost of keeping them up is ridiculous. I have loved the style of the Ford GT since the mid sixties and when the new model became available there was just no question that I had to have one. If not the Ford GT, probably...

Chip, make that five..... Richard Hille The GT School

Piccola, It was a pleasure meeting you and the other Forum members at the Mile last weekend, and now I find you have other hidden talents. Kudos for a very lovely gift. Richard Hille The GT School

I may bring the Big Black Camaro out to the next of these events. It will have a FORD 9" rear axle at that time and I am going with a gear ratio that might allow some decent mile speeds. The Camaro that was at the Mojave Mile was the famous Big Red Camaro. I have been told that it is equipped...

As I have mentioned before on this Forum: My GT is the first thing I see when I enter my garage and the last thing I see when leaving the garage. How bad can a day be when it starts with THAT view...... Richard Hille The GT School ps: the factory car cover is still in its original plastic...

Traction? We don't need no stinking traction.... Richard Hille Th GT School

Ah heck, I'm just gonna push the pedal to the aluminum and see how fast she goes...... Richard Hille The GT School
