Nick,

This is just spectacular. So awesome to see that you are doing exactly as many of us plan to do . . . Wrap it and drive it! That's why they built it after all. Thank you for sharing and great meeting you at Dave's place.

On Ebay you find plenty.

I bought similar tape called "rhino tape" from a UK supplier. As long as it isn't a Chinese copy it should do its job. On the F16 Viper we used the 3M tape for the wing leading edge. Without it the paint would be stripped off in a few flights, but with the tape the erosion was stopped. If it works at Mach 1.8 it will work for cars as well.

NJS,

Great hanging out with you this AM. LOVE your car! There was a Dino not far away that was not getting much attention. It was a good showing for FORD.
 
Fred-missed you at Lingenfelters. you were right- what a collection!
 
Yes, I was there after the I left Woodward. I drove the Smurf GT. My Falcon F7 was in the collection.
 
yep seen the F7. what a ride! Ken was going around thanking everyone for attending. what a gracious host for sure
 
Blue with black stripe is very nice!!!

Grats!!!

I think my passenger may have a nice video of your air brake activating at M1 just when you hit the end of the straight.

I have cell phone video on the track taken by my passenger. I was 2 cars behind you. The heritage was between us. It was amazing following 2 NFGT's on the track.
 
First customer cars on track?

A shame the Atom was driven so slowly....

slow , but still fun watching...and listening.... I was a few cars back and could easily hear both of you in the 2017 GT's.

Question:
... now that you are at the 600 mile 'break in " point, what does the owners manual say to do with the vehicle for maintenance.?

Just an Oil change prior to serious track time.
