Happy 2022 to all.

Woody Woodruff bought his 67 GT-350 brand new and had it until he passed away in 2019...I understand his family still has the car...

My vote Charlotte or VIR...both great tracks!

H//

Another one bites the dust.....

Kinda off topic but seeing 0078's tag brings a lot of memories...I really miss that car...

Henry G//

Former owner of 0078 for almost 28 years...

Welcome back to the red light district!

Yes on the empty garage syndrome.  My 66 Fastback is in there but I'm having a huge motivation problem.  It will be OK...eventually...

Found out today that Mustang Monthly will be discontinued beginning Jan 2020...what a sad day...

I think the service was exactly what Woody would have wanted.  If you look at Brian's pictures of Woody's 67 when they were doing the latest restoration he insisted that the stickers on the windshield remain untouched...that says everything about Woody.  I don't know if he met his goal of being the original owner of a 67 GT-350 with the most miles on the car but if not I'm pretty sure he was close...Godspeed my good friend...

So here a typical Woody Story:

I was at a SAAC convention many years ago and Woody was there with 0145 and for whatever reason I did not have 0078 there.  Carroll Shelby was there signing autographs and Woody comes up with the driver's side sun visor for Mr Shelby to sign.  He noticed I had nothing to get signed so he goes and gets the original sun visor out of 0145 and gives it to me if I promise to send the passenger side sun visor to him out of 0078.  Needless to say I agreed on the spot and Mr Shelby signed the visors, noting the serial numbers on the visors.  So today the passenger sun visor from 0078 is in 0145 along with the original signed driver's side sun visor and the original passenger sun visor from 0145 is signed and in 0078...that is one of who knows how many Woody Stories...I was so lucky to be his friend...

You bet!  May be going to Indy. Hopefully you will be there

Just wanted to update everyone that 67 GT350-0078 is headed to CA  .  It has been a great almost 28 years with the car....tons and tons of great memories!  I'm still be here but a new forum profile for now.  Take care out there!!

22nd Annual Charity Car Show for Alamance-Caswell Hospice and Palliative Care Saturday 27 September at Alamance Crossing Shopping Center.  $25.00 Entry Fee.  100% of all proceeds goes to Hospice.  In the times I have to used hospice services they were a true blessing for my family.  While there will be some trophies this show is all about raining money for hospice.  Show will be 9-2...hope to see you there!

VIR would be great or perhaps reestablish ties with Charlotte and their new road course.

All:  The Hot Rod Power Tour is coming 7-14 June (7 June is event registration at Charlotte Motor Speedway and events start 8 June at Z-MAX).   On Sunday 9 June the tour heads to Martinsville Speedway and beyond (go to the website for Hot Rod Power Tour (http://theenthusiastnetwork.tixonlinenow.com/hotrodpowertour/) for more details.  For those of us who live near Burlington, the tour comes right through town!  I have attached a copy the tour is taking if anyone is interested.  I plan to join up in Burlington and go to the Martinsville venue.  If anything B-Town will be a great place to pull up chair and watch a rolling car show!  Take care out there!
