SAAC Forum Discussion Area / Re: 68 500 Blinker issue
November 03, 2026, 04:37:59 PM
Probably the turn signal switch in the column if there is no repeated blink.

How are the brake lights? All on when pedal pushed?

When left turn, does the rear sequence once then stays on?

Ford GT / GT40 Press kit and other materials
October 19, 2026, 03:22:27 PM
Found this press kit, magazine, technical papers, and plastic bag while clearing up my basement. All in excellent condition.

Autoweek is from my own subscription, dated January 2002

Just trying to gather information on it at this point. Probably acquired it at a major new car show or through a FORD source?

She was a special lady indeed. I used to fuss over her when they arrived at car shows, ignoring Chuck!

You all missed a FABULOUS track day. Un-crowded groups, perfect weather, fast track, instructors, traditional run groups, a mock race at the end, it was GREAT!!!!!

Next time I run one of these, don't turn up your noses, jump in!

In the final days of prep and planning, this Sunday! Weather so far will cooperate, we only have this day.

It's a charity event, benefiting our local hospital pediatric unit. Baskets, food, and it's at America's Oldest continually operating Drive-In movie theater!

Come on down!

Shelby American History / Re: Interview With Peter Brock
September 29, 2026, 08:38:14 PM
I was judging at SAAC-32 with Peter, and was able to discuss aero in detail with him. A passion of mine (My Cobra!) is air flow over & under a car. He enjoyed  the conversation, and not dealing with the usual fan adoration.

Great afternoon with him.

SAAC-52 / SAAC-37 Tour of the Original circuit
September 19, 2026, 11:33:58 AM
My regional group ran a tour of the original circuit, starting at the Wal-Mart lot, a full lap (or two), and ended up at the Motorsports Library.

Idea to do again?

One of my "Home" tracks! I Instruct up there a few times a year. Fast, flowing, famous, and fun! Great facility, will be good to be there.

There was the group out of southern Florida, but nothing farther north.

Try forming a region? Probably find many members there.

OK Gang! We have registration open and ready to go! Everyone in the NorthEast who enjoys some fun at the track, this Shelby-Centric event is for you!

One day of fun for all levels! From Two Touring/Parade lap sessions to Open passing for the advanced. Even a group photo at lunch for all at the track! The morning will favor the novice and intermediate levels, and the afternoon will provide TONS of track time for the Intermediate and advanced drivers. End of day will be a longer session with advanced passing and maybe a rolling start practice! Instructors will be available for those in need. Classroom sessions as well.

I am the nut running the event, so please ask me any questions via e-mail (Dan Reiter - Reiterdrds@ptd.net) I also can provide more forms and information.

To determine your run group, please e-mail me directly, and include your car model and equipment, plus the group you wish to run, and ALL your past experience. I will make the final classification. You will be able to change groups depending on how the day goes and how you are performing.

NJMP is VERY serious about safety. Tech and safety are under their jurisdiction. I have attached the tech sheet we will use, plus other safety, tech, and event guidelines. Please make sure your car is up to date and conforms to the track's rules. Once in their hands, we cannot reverse their decision (IE no refunds for a tech fail). Cobras and other cars, the roll bar/Broomstick check is mandatory.

OK, all the serious stuff is said, now let's have a blast, cut some great laps, be safe, and smile ear to ear!
