Shelby GT500 test mule + ALMS Saleen GT1 update
I went out to Grattan Raceway today to test out a new lens for my camera that I bought specifically for the F1 race next month in Indy. I needed some high speed targets to test out the new lens. Grattan Raceway is about 15 minutes from my house and I visit and race there frequently. I called up the track and asked if there were any cars out on track today. They answered yes so I headed out. After snapping photos for about 5 minutes the guy driving the test mule pulls off the track and up to the guard rail where I was snapping photos. He asked who I was taking photos for. I said myself and asked if I could enter the track to take more photos from all the good corners. He said no. 
I took about 500 photos of the mustangs and two GT's they were tweaking. Unfortunately they either were not driving their production car or had already ran it, I arrived late in the afternoon. I thought you guys might enjoy these photos.

The test mule actually sounded pretty sedated for a mustang. I was suprised how quiet it was. I went back again today and they kicked me out.

Hey, has anyone seen or heard of any color options for the new Cobra? (They just keep showing the red Cobra.) I'm dying to know what colors will be available...[sm=bangbang.gif] "C"
