Hello Everyone,

A reunion of "Red Trio" is finally going to happen in a public venue for the very first time!!!  The first three production GT500s - cars 0100, 0131, and 0139 will all be displayed together at the Indiana SAAC Fall Classic in French Lick.  The dates are October 20th, 21st, and 22nd.  It sounds like there is going to be quite a few significant cars at the event.  I hope to meet some of you there.  Here is a little teaser....

That's all good news. But who names their town "French Lick?" I thought it was a joke or maybe if not a joke, then an individual resort until I looked it up.
"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

The French discovered the "mineral licks" in that area.
French lick isn't what most think it is.
Also home town of the "Hick" from French Lick , Larry Bird.

Hello Brent,

I enjoyed our phone conversation yesterday.  Thank you, and thanks to Brian Styles and Jason Billups for setting the wheels in motion to make this public reunion finally happen.  I am looking forward to attending your event and hope that 0100, 0131, and 0139 will be well received.

How about  Big Bone Lick in Ky. I used to laugh every time I'd pass that sign on I-75 going to Florida. It is probably one of the most famous places most have never heard of.
