and 3 sheriff's officers sent out to arrest us on the road rally were real nice to all 50 GTs that were pulled over and let us go.

Why in the world would they want to pull you over?

remember... 'laws of man and nature.'

Looks like SYCO has a little radar enhanced front grilll accoutrements?

Are you guys planning a Rally to Scotsdale Return or is everyone breaking up and returning by different routes?

Welcome to the hotel

Who are these people and why are their pants like that?

At the starting grid:

Speeds here reached near 190 mph 4 wide:

Butterfly assassins home from the Texas Mile:

Plates in the garage:

If you're hanging out with the guys of the Ford GT Forum, you better bring out the big guns. Conservatively, the cars shown here make about 10,000 hp:

 

[dbk]

Oh no:

p.s, thanks to this officer for being reasonable. The other two were, uh, not so much.

Ready to rock at the Texas Mile:

This man would later go 207 mph at the mile:

The GT Guy ready to launch. He even let his wife take a blast down the runway:

Fantastic!!

What's the story with the black GT and the blue tape?

 

[dbk]

You'll see alot of shots of cars with blue tape. It's temporary protection from potential rock chips when running a car at high speed. I didn't run any tape and I didn't pick up any chips but I have hard goodyears on. The softer race oriented tires were definitely chucking around pebbles.

 

[AtomicGT]

Okay lets do the math

4038 total production of FGTs (2005+2006)
estimates are roughly 25% destroyed or damaged
leaves 3029 FGTs running or stored

78 FGTs at Rally IV on the track

78/3029 = 2.575 % of owners are living the life

The other 97.42% of us FGT owners are garage queens. EP has been a queen a little longer than the rest of us!

:cheers to us

Caught some of the swarm of 650,000 bats coming out of the Congress St. Bridge in Austin! They eat 70,000 lbs of insects per night. The other 70,000 lbs of insects is on our grills.

Just got home in Orange County. What a week! Left Hennessey Performance to get to the airport after doing a couple fun 1/4 mile runs. Thanks for the left to the airport Apollo! Hope you and your wife made your flight too.
