2020 Shelby GT500 CFTP Ozarks International Raceway Chin Track Day 1! (video)

[Goose17]

Thats not the story I heard. But either way, Nick is a great guy to be around on the track.

This was told to me by the man himself. The CFTP was purchased for an adventure… that adventure was killed by COVID.

He's not driving a 500 around the track, is he?

Hmm.

Must be covid...

I’ll repeat what I said above. Nick said he bought a 2020 CFTP to go on tour of Europe with… a father/son adventure before the son went off to college. They were going to hit tracks across Europe with the car. COVID hit and Europe shut down killing that plan. He subsequently sold the car as the reason he bought it was no longer an option.

The body in white 5.2 purpose built track car he drives at the tracks is a much more capable track car. It’s just not a street legal car you could tour Europe with.

Wow. What an awesome father. I thought I was an awesome dad. I need to up my game. That sounds like an amazing thing to do with a son. I have 2 of them. An 18yr old senior in high school and a 3yr old. 18yr old is off to the military after HS right away so he's S.O.L. Guess I got about 15 yrs to plan that European tour for the little guy. Hope my cars hold up till then. Or I'll have to buy a 2037 GT500 electric-whatever-it-is.

Military Police, Army National Guard. It's not full time in one the the big 5 (Army,Navy,AF, USMC, CG), but I'm still super proud of him. 6 year commitment, his 1st year he's still in Senior Year of HS, so it's really only 5yrs by the time he goes to Basic and MP school. I hear Fort Leanord Wood in Missouri is an "interesting" place.

Congratulations all the way around!

We all know who he is. A simple google will reveal that. If the car he is running now is a body in white, that is news to me. He had a red R that I thought he turned into what it is today.

i cant post a link in here from trackmustangsonline since the 6g nazi’s will ban it….but he has entire build thread for the crashed black car he turned into the first body in white purpose built grey gt350 he runs in tt2. Its called wheres wally if you want to search it. it actually helped me with my racecar build.

the newest white one is him trying to make it as light as possible.
IIRC he still has the red GT350.

@Goose17 next time you go to ozarks let me know, i’ll go……i wanna see if pf racing would sell a gt4

Thank Tony!

My next planned trip there is the first week of May for Shelbyfest 2023, which is in Jefferson City. There will be a track day or two again at OIR.
