  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    BPG GNX reunion update... just confirmed that Rick Hunt owner and fabricator of the GNX X-ray will be attending the BPG event with his White GNX and that Doug Nigro the owner of http://www.gnxregistry.org/ will be attending and presenting at the BPG event in 4 weeks. Louis Infante who was a Vice President at McLaren responsible for the business interface with ASC and was the McLaren program director on the GNX program. From the time the model was conceived at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway until the final car was delivered,he led the McLaren product development and production support efforts on the program. (See the GNX book for my verification) he also owns what is plated as Car000 which is the final prototype vehicle listed in the book and the one that was used in the production plant as a 'master" vehicle for quality purposes. This car has been mostly in storage until recently and now has about 1100 miles on it. he shown it at private shows and it has been on display at the Woodward Dream cruise a couple of times and plans bringing it to the BPG Event. This is a not to miss event as we will also have Brad Conley's 86 GNX prototype on display.

    I remember talking to a buddy of mine who was working on an '86 GN in the experimental building. He was beating the hell out of an exhaust pipe. Cussing and hollering trying to see if a 3" pipe would fit. Lloyd Ruess walked by and asked him if all of that cussing and hollering makes that pipe fit better. Yer GD Right It Does!! Lloyd say's Oh, OK. Kept right on walking. I don't know if that ended up making any difference in the final product or not.
