Derry, You are correct to be concerned about high speeds and old "new" tires. I have been investigating automobile accidents as a forensic consultant (expert witness) for almost 30 years. I have seen many accidents caused by new looking but old tires coming apart at highway speeds. For very...

Pro, You have that right. I could not believe the price they put on that car. I'll take my GT over that car anytime. Besides, I really don't appreciate the styling.... Richard Hille The Gt School

Kevin, It was great meeting you and the family. The SHO looks like a fun ride with interesting potential. See you at the Mojave Mile, if not before. Richard Hille The GT School

GTFUN, We had a website in process, but the "webmaster" lost interest and let it expire. We hope to find a proper webmaster and get a good site up and running in the next few months. As it is, there is a great deal of information here on the forum about the school. I am very pleased that...

Well of course THAT one can fly..... It has a WING..... Richard Hille The GT School

Ed Sims, All sanctioned speed events have limitations based on vehicle safety equipment and driver experience. Typically, a new competitor will be limited to a max average speed of about 120 mph. Now, that said, not many people have spent nearly one hour driving at over 100 mph. Many of the new...

GTX1-007, You might also consider the Bonneville 100 Open Road Race (June 24th-27th, 2010). This is being put on by the same folks doing the Mojave Mile event in March. The nice thing about the Bonne 100 is that it is two legs of 50 miles each, so if you want to drive and you have a co-driver...

All factory original wheels on the Ford GT are BBS. Which were you looking for the six spoke cast or the forged optional wheels? Richard Hille The GT School

ObeyMyFast, Go to the www.mojavemile.com web site and download the rules. You can also register for their forum and ask Mike questions that way. It is his show, he makes the rules. Richard Hille The GT School

I had trouble with the original battery very early on. The replacement battery has been fine as long as I drive the car once every two or three weeks. I generally drive it more than that. I have never used the factory battery tender, but if the car sits more than two weeks I will sometimes throw...

Got an e-mail from Ford Performance today. At the very bottom it just says that I am a member of the Ford Performance Group. Richard Hille The GT School

Ed, Those crashes were in legal open road races. I have only participated in one "one mile" acceleration event (as a good friend reminded me). It was a Saturday event at the Silver State Classic Challenge and I was running my 420 rwhp 1998 Mustang Cobra many years ago. I will start some...

Gentlemen, I believe this coming Monday/Tuesday GT School will be the last. I have explained in the past that for this event to be viable I need a minimum of six entries. We did receive six entries for this GT School but due to a series of issues two of my students needed to cancel for very...

Gentlemen, If you read my posts carefully you will realize that this WAS NEVER A GT ONLY EVENT. I was just letting you guys know early on about an upcoming event. As I have stated previously I AM NOT RUNNING THIS EVENT. I am just one of the participants. I am NOT representing the GT Owners in...

Okay guys, Because of my open road racing in the Unlimited Class (racing against the Mojave Mile promoter) and my 7 time USAS 200 MPH Club membership, I believe that I will be granted an Unlimited license. That said, my GT has racing harnesses and will have a fire extinguisher but will probably...

Ok Folks, I hope this answers a lot of questions including Apollo's: We can now verbally commit to participating by calling the promoter - speak to Mary at 702 614-6108. She will take down your name, year - make & model of car or cars you will be driving. If you have more than one driver per...

There's a guy in I believe Texas selling a Ford GT powertrain out of one of those funny Red GTs. That would make a very interesting F308..... Richard Hille The GT School

This thread reminds me of another discussion: I have never seen a tombstone that said " I wish I'd spent more time at work." We have no idea how long we have here. The only reason I don't drive my GT three or four days a week is unfortunately rather simple - I'm 6'6" tall and need to have the...
