[5.0 435]

5.2 CPC engine. Can't wait to hear it run in practice Thursday. There is another white one also.
Check out the hood . I read that the hood is temporary until the new one comes in.

The white one. Roush driving this one. 5.2 CPC also.
No Shelby decals anywhere, but it's got the Shelby GT 350 front and rear panels.

No crowds on Wednesday and it was cool seeing the transporters arriving with the conti cars. That's what is great getting there 3 days before the race. On race day the 24 hour race is a zoo. One big ass party with the constant sounds of engine music.

Notice the metal coolant expansion tank. Why the squirrel on the left front fender of the white Mustang ? Why does the grey Mustang have GS by the number when it is a GT4 race car ?

IMSA now allows cars in GS class that match global GT4 specifications...
GS is the Grand Sport Series of the Continental Tire Challenge
And Dean Martin has a thing for Squirrels

Hood looks like the Tiger Racing hood.

Some more news, looks like there will be up to 4 Mustangs racing CTSC, and a few in PWC too.

The white one. Roush driving this one. 5.2 CPC also.
No Shelby decals anywhere .

That's because it isn't a "Shelby". It's a Mustang GT4.

I'm looking forward to the season starting up again. #15 dominated last year. Let's see if they can do it again!

The other ford garage.

3 Ford GT's being prepared for Saturday 24 hour race. Haven't seen the 4th one yet.
The number 15 mustang was the fastest in practice session 2 and 3 today. So far only one mustang has driven @ speed. Number 59 has been in the pits most of the time.

All 4 GTs have set practice times with the #68 leading the GTLM field so far.
