I wish I could have attended. Presheduled events prevented my participation. Looks like a great time was enjoyed by all!

Brief section of SR87 Scottsdale to Payson (on 10/30 before Chip's party, so unfortunately no other GTs in view)

Unfortunately, good things come to an end. Time to load up and head back to South Dakota.

A fuel stop at Chip's one last time heading home.

Early track day end, again. Second rear window.

Early track day end, again. Second rear window.

I would highly recommend that any owner with a NGT buys some t-bolt clamps to avoid this from happening. Glass coverage will cover it but what a PITA to have to deal with that over $6-8.00 in clamps.. This is a frequent thing with the new GT and I can't believe that Ford thinks it's ok with the boost these put out to run a cheap worm gear clamp.

Literally a 10-15 minute install with simple tools to keep this from happening again.

First time I'm seeing this since I didn't go to the rally. With a NGT on the way I'd like to clarify. Is it a matter of the stock worm gear clamps failing and the intake tube striking the window that is causing them to break?

I was one of the first to break a bulk head glass.. Bought about 10 different sizes.. every one is too long or too short and too wide..
