GT40 in the snow at Niagara Falls, I think on the American side ? We see some British cars in the background, from the left, a light blue and black Sunbeam Alpine, a black Austin or Morris 1100, and the two tone car is also English, I think ?

Students in the automotive technician and automotive services program at Durham college, in the town of Oshawa, Ontario, Canada (just up the road from me)  built this Factory Five Mk. IV roadster over three semesters. Now they are going to sell it to fund more programs.

disclaimer: I have no personal link to this, came upon it in the local on line news feed.

pretty cool  8)

There was another thread on the forum where a '67 GT500 was tested against a '67 427 Corvette.
This is along the same lines, but 289 Cobra versus 327 fuel injected Corvette.
The Cobra is quicker, but has a definite weight advantage.

Does anyone have a clear image of this Kelsey Hayes Brakes decal ? It appeared on a number of cars like the Comstock Mustangs, and on Bob Johnson's Falcon that ran at least one Trans Am race in '67 (photo below from Lime Rock) it's on the lower left on the front fender.. awhile back on the old forum someone was looking for it as well.

The two images below show the decal, one I blew up, sorry for the fuzziness   ::)  the other just for reference of the Falcon.

SAAC Forum Discussion Area / search box !
July 03, 2018, 04:12:10 PM
Hi is there a way to clear my history in the search box on the top right ? example..when I type in Fiberfab, and then click search, it takes me to Matt Damon to play Shelby thread, same happens when I click on the box and my search history comes up and I click on one of the items it takes me to another unrelated topic on the board, can I clear this ? I tried deleting the things in the search history, but it doesn't work   ???
