Gary, just pony up and write the big check! Just like getting a GT.

Pete, I love your technical questions! It shows you are thinking about what I posted and forces me to go back and rethink what I said relative to your question(s). Your questions are certainly valid. I assume the titanium shims are pretty thin, on the order of .010” to .020”? If so, then the...

While I understand the theory of using a thermal barrier material (Titanium shim) to limit the heat transfer from the brake pad into the brake caliper piston, my personal experience running these shims on my race car did not prove beneficial. Titanium (as a shim material) does have a lower...

Back from vacation and note there is significant interest in the sign up process for this cooking class. Great! At this point 15 people have posted up and I have sent PM payment information to those expressing interest. Two have already paid and are on the list. As we receive your cooking class...

For all GT Gals – The Cooking Class for Rally 13 is set! After a few long years of not being together, it’s time to relax and enjoy each other’s company. With no car talk! Since the rally is late this year and the holidays are not far behind, let’s get a head start. This year, in small groups...

Ok the venue, time and pricing has been set and will close out this interest thread. See new cooking school thread for actual sign up.

For those interested, I dug out Mr. Beck's much earlier post (13 years ago) on this topic. He knows his gas topic well. https://www.fordgtforum.com/forums/threads/atl-gas-shortage.12551/#post-148996

Thank you very much BMF for alerting us to Mose's passing. He was a gentleman and had a wealth of engine knowledge. I too got to talk to him at Rally 10 and subsequent visits to the HF Museum. What a shame. RIP Nose....

Ohhhhhh Frank!o_O Texas, glad you found it interesting. It is a very complex topic not appreciated by most. (especially Dr. Frank) As I stated earlier Chip posted a VERY interesting post on fuel blending requirements by different counties he serves. It is quite amazing (if still valid) how you...

TEXAS GT your question is totally valid and does not show ignorance. You are absolutely correct in understanding the disassociation of octane rating to power. The two metrics are separate and distinct. The oil companies have spent billions of advertising dollars trying to cajole the buying...

As has been pointed out and PeterK referenced in his post, this topic is quite polarizing and position entrenched in peoples mind. I agree with all the “issues” brought up in the earlier posts and put special emphasis on Chip’s post being in the retail fuel business (and for a long time). Go...

Wow! Let me first commend you on being a GREAT wife to go out and get your husband a FR500 racecar. Sounds like a pristine car being only used as a show car. There are several different models of this vehicle which were developed in the early 2000’s, FR500C which had the 5.0L engine, FR500S...

You really need some input here from Mr. Mark McGowan our esteemed FGT Vehicle Dynamics savant and resident Ford track driver. He and his wife have driven their 05 GT to many of our rallies all over the country. They know every “nook and cranny” of their car for packing purposes (for TWO...

Done Mike! It is not too late to sign up for interest in this event. My wife was looking at two different cooking school venues. One which could entertain about 23 and the second could accommodate many more. From the response we have seen above, 30+ ladies with interest, she can focus with the...

Jeff, you are correct and will be echoed at the drivers meeting. Drive within your limits..... is certainly something to be remembered while out on the track :D

The Line The line is a physical line of movement that a car takes through any given turn. A line can be good, bad, right or wrong. The right line around a track is generally the one which gets you around the safest and fastest. In driver's education however, it is not always the fastest line...

For those bringing their GT’s to the Rally 13 track day, much of what I list below has been provided here on the Forum over the many Rallies we have enjoyed in the past. I have scrubbed the prose which is general in nature for a track event. There may be a few items that do not apply to our...

NOTE: This is not my preferred method of posting this information. The Forum has a thread posting limitation of 10,000 characters which I have exceeded in this treatise. Therefore I have had to break it into 3 separate threads. Again, not to my liking. If you want to comment on the topic, I ask...

Very nicely done! Congrats to both Rich and Camilo. Another spectacular Signature Series.

Rex and Stormy, I've got other plans for you guys. ;)Stay tuned.....
