    Sebring Heritage Mk II

    Gentlemen, The 1967 12 hours of Sebring winning GT Mk IV. 55 years ago the driving suits and the cars were advertisement free which looks odd today. This was the only major race win by a yellow Ford GT. Bruce Mclaren is only 29 years old here. 3 years later he would die in a crash at Goodwood...

    The Final Countdown

    Gentlemen, I don't like it when cool things I've enjoyed come to an end. Like my 4 years in college, the 4 years of the GT IMSA and WEC teams were a blast. Trips to Multimatic, the races, the rallies and the whole new GT program really were "something utterly insane". The sound and feel of...

    Dash Gauges

    Most of my gauges stopped working even though I always keep the car on a battery tender and it started the car easily. But I put a new battery in and now all the gauges work fine. Even on a tender that Optima gets weak over time. Chip
