Default #22 is actually #3943GT

The #22 car that I posted pictures of is actually chassis #3943GT. I was fortunate to have access to this car when I started the C5 GTO project. I took many measurements, pictures, and templates from the car. Without access to it, I wouldn't have been able to do what I've done.

There was one day when I wanted to go take more measurements and the car was unavailable. I was told that it had extensive front end damage and was at body shop for repairs. I wonder if there's any correlation to the incident in France Mark mentioned. Maybe or it could have just been a bad day at the track.

I went to the Monterrey Historics at Laguna Seca in 2004 when Ferrari was the marque. There were 17 GTOs present and raced. I took pictures until my camera was full. My heart skipped a beat when one of the GTOs went off course on the downhill after the corkscrew. Fortunately, it didn't hit anything solid.



I'll have to put the 2011 Concourse on my calendar.
