Dave and Francesca, Thanks again for all you do and have done! Jerry thanks for putting this together! BTW Donald Bennett is BigsGT, not Pe2nia!

Other Uncle Phil-isms: Marrying a girl is like buying a new Rolls Royce. The day you get it it is the most beautiful thing you have ever seen, but from that point forward all it does is get older and older, and wear out more and more each day, and you have to keep feeding it gas and oil and...

Two for me please!

Great Runs Brian! How did you get such clean slips? Mine are barely legible and my best had to be written over by the officials as it was so hard to read. Plus they were torn goofy; I'm ashamed to post them! :biggrin

Ha! I grew up with Uncle Phil! I hadn't read about this or seen the video. That link doesn't work so I will go searching but if you could fix it I would sure appreciate it! I've got tons of Uncle Phil stories!

My story is almost identical to K-P's above. Remembering that car and the excitement even in the major press regarding the racing campaign's success is one of the main reasons I was so pumped when I heard they were going to resurrect the car for '05 and '06, and a reason I'm so glad I bought...

178.111/ 93 / Goodyear Eagle / Heffner Exhaust, Pulley and Tune / BigsGT

Got one! Thanks for the post and your efforts writing the book!

Looks grand and majestic. Awesome! Pics of the interior and garages please!

Dave I think mine might be the one you referred to that was recovered at the starting line. I thought I either gave it to you or put it in that trailer at the staging lanes. It was late in the day so I don't think anyone else used it. If I gave it to you then fine, otherwise there might have...

What a great coup for us and what a great time we had to have that set up all to ourselves for a day! I had a blast and I'm afraid I'm spoiled for life now thanks to DBK! If I go back for the regular event I'll probalby be disappointed not being able to run as often as we did and not having so...

Many of you are true race afficionados, and know well the history of auto racing in the US. Others are attracted to our cars and only come to know that history as they get more involved with the Ford GT. Still others have had direct experience with the cars and drivers when that history was...

Yikes! I hope no one is superstitious as my mileage add was 666! I wonder if I win the prize for the least miles driven? (I have a home in Austin) No, unfortunately that would probably be Ray. :skep

Wow... What a unbelieveably touching eulogy Chip. I don't deal well with death and frankly had not come to terms with Daniel's until this post. The last picture of him will be printed out and hung with my other cherished GT memorabilia. I was only able to spend time with Bony in Detroit and...

I enjoyed visiting with you and your brother Dallas, Mark. Your car is remarkable in so many subtle ways, and you are an interesting and knowledgable guy. I felt honored to be in the stall next to you, and next to Shelby and across from Stormcat. Meeting them was an appreciated first for me as...

I'll be back in the Tall City Wednesday evening and back to Austin Friday. I'll give you a buzz. Tell Frank I said hi and get well soon!

I also want to thank Ralphie for bailing me out at TWS by letting me air up from his tank! Can't believe the pressure was down in all 4 tires after I checked them so carefully before the rally. :wink

You were here? I thought you were looking after Frank back home? Dang you should've called; I hope Frank is doing better!

Ray you definitely win the endurance and best retained attitude under adversity award! Not to mention Weaver, Cody and Heffner for working so long and hard addressing the issues that kept you sidelined. Sorry I missed Friday's cruise since I've only seen your car at night at Steiner Ranch...
