24 so far...

Two dozen participants have posted so far for our Wed. night GT dinner. PhxGT, would you do me a favor? Please invite Harley Cluxton Sr. and Jr. to the dinner as my guests. They don't have to drive Gulf GT #1075 to Don & Charlie's but that would be a PLUS!! Cluxton Jr. is going up to fly some aerobatics in my Glasair III and I'll try to get that done before the dinner, should make for a good story. Here's the list.

1. Bony-2
2. ChipBeck-4
3. BlueMoose-2
4. DBTGT-2
5. PhxGT-2
6. ThamonGT-2
7. FloridaChris-2
8. 50BMG-2
9. Tungsten-2
10. Piccola-1
11. Jasper-1
12. GordonWolf-2

:cheers :cheers :cheers

Chip,
I just met you at the Pavillions car show last Saturday. I have the blue/white GT. Sign me up for 2. Bony, any chance of getting you out to our local track to run your Whipple GT? I would be happy to install my drag radials for you if you are interested. I guess I will always be 1/4 mile white trash at heart. I can't wait to see what these cars can do with over 700RWHP. 11.64@121.79 so far for me. Chip, thanks for putting the dinner together. Kurt

Cluxton Jr. is going up to fly some aerobatics in my Glasair III and I'll try to get that done before the dinner, should make for a good story.

Let's see, aerobatics before or after a dinner. Hum.......clean up or no clean up. Think I'd do it before.

No charge for words of wisdom :thumbsup

Looking forward. Let me know if you want me to do anything.

Ok...I am in for Wednesday night. Unfortunately I will be GT-less. I was hoping to ship it down but not going to work this time around. OK...who's looking for someone to ride shot-gun to dinner?

I talked to both Harley and his son, Harley IV. They both have our Wed. night dinner on their calendar. Once we know the time, I'll let them know. On a side note, Harley has his supercharged Cobra (one of two) ready for the Barrett-Jackson auction. You can see his car on the BJ web site. Should be a fun week.

Lots of difference between Harley's Cobra and the one at R&S which is a car that was 100% reconstructed from a wreck and the vin plate moved over. No comparison for a purist collector.

For attendees not familiar with Harley Cluxton, he's a most fascinating guy. He has owned, driven, bought, and sold more original GT40's than anyone else (probably 20+% of the total built). A top level driver back in the day and active in vintage racing today. Harley pioneered the business of buying and selling vintage race cars (including GT40 #1075). He was for years the Ferrari dealer in Scottsdale. It's going to be a great night.:cheers :banana
