The Simione Museum scheduled a live drive of their 1966 Mk II in their own five acre back lot on Saturday. I arrived in my FGT and they treated me like a member of the staff, inviting me to park in the back lot along with their GT-40 and vintage racing Corvette. All the cars were enjoyed by hundreds of spectators and I had the opportunity for some once-in-a-lifetime photos, some of which (I hope) are below. Their Ford GT-40 participated in the 1966 LeMans, won by a sister car to this one. Great museum if you're ever in the area.

Howard,

Very nice. I was invited to his collection some years ago when it was housed in a differnet neighborhood but unfortunately was not able to go. I understand since the move to the new location it is really quite the collection to see. Love the pics.

Thanks for sharing. I remember in 2003 when I was instructing at BeaveRun race complex in PA the number 8 car made an appearance and was "tested" on track. What a site. I'll never forget the sound it made!

Sorry I missed the event; I was just a few miles away at World Cafe Live.
