    Last week I heard John Clinard, long time Ford PR man, announce on a KPFK -FM radio show about cars that Ford will pave the way for several vintage Ford GTs to be on display at Laguna Seca this August at the meet. Anybody know which cars? Will any veteran LeMans Ford GTs actually be running in the vintage race? What day are the mid-'60s cars running? Or practicing? Porsche is going to have a 917 there so my dream would be to have an ex-LeMans Porsche racer and former Ford GT racer do a mano-a-mano duel during the weekend with some original veteran drivers in original cars. (Though I might have to concede a bit as a result of the passage of time as the drivers would have to be in their 70s to have raced in the mid-60s.) Here's the list of run groups.

    Run groups for the event are as follows:

    1923-1955 Le Mans
    1956-1971 Le Mans
    1972-1982 Le Mans
    Le Mans Prototypes (1981-2005)
    1966-1972 Historic Trans-Am
    1966-1985 Historic Formula 1
    1958-1963 Formula Junior
    1955-1969 Saloon
    1955-1966 SCCA Sports Cars
    1981-1991 IMSA GTO, Trans Am
    1974-1979 Formula Atlantic
    1920-1955 Grand Prix

    Us Ford GT fans need to know what day is the '56 to '71 class practicing and what day racing? For grins
