Steve,

There's nothing worse than a track day that ends prematurely. In your case, I saw you headed into the paddock after what seemed like about 2 laps and thought, "Uh oh". That sucks, as your car looked great and sounded better. I would have enjoyed getting to chase 2 GT350s all day. 45 years old or not, they are very quick cars.

Gary, I'm sure there's a Cobra, or some related vehicle, in my future. The decision to sell my slabside was not an easy one. If it were a track-worthy car I might have sold something in lieu of it, but these days if won't perform on the racetrack it goes to the bottom of the list. I still have a 5.0 Mustang in the garage but it's the fewest number of Ford-powered vehicles I've had in years. I'd love a crack at a Ford GT (wouldn't we all) but I'm still waiting on the market price for those to drop by 80%.
