An email from Bill Vantuono:
Hey everyone!
Greetings from the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona. Here's "our" GTO.R. She looks great! Our logo really stands out on the quarter panels. We're going to add a few small GTOAA decals on Saturday, on the nose, tail, and interior. Let me know what you think.

January 30th Indy GTO Club Meeting
Happy New Year Goatnutz,
Your staff of diligent (or is that delinquent?) Indy GTO officiers, bored members and the US Congress have finally come to resolution on our health care bull, I mean bill and our first meeting of the decade that will lead on to become the twenty teens:
Date: Saturday January 30th
Place: RetroTech
Time: 11:30am-3pm
Address: 475 Northpoint Court, Suite 600,
Brownsburg, IN 46112
Phone: 317-858-3400
How do I get there: From Indy's westside: take I-465 to I-74west to St Rd 267 (Browsburg exit). Go south on StRd 267 to first stop light (Northfield Drive) and turn left (east), follow Northfield around until you see John Force Racing on the right. Just past JFR is Southpoint Circle, turn right on Southpoint Circle and go maybe 1/4 mile or so to Northpoint (its on the left). Go to suite 600
Our host, Mike Haluska, is providing pizza and sodas, so get there on time before the Jump family shows up!
Our agenda will cover our plans for our June show at RetroTech, Mystery cruise date, car shows we might want to travel to as a group, with plenty of time left over to socialize.
To kick things off, Mike Haluska will show us his new facility (he used to be over on Rockville Rd) and let us know what's happening in the world of "RetroTech".
So, mark your calendars NOW, show up to help us kick-off 2010 and this new decade.

Band of Brothers
We send our best wishes out to two of our members dealing with serious illnesses. We are keeping both of these guys and their families in our thoughts and prayers at this time. Indy GTO Club Treasurer, William Dave Fitzpatrick, was lookin' good after his surgery. Here is a slide show of favorite Fitz pics.
Here is a slide show of photos of John Jackson, many taken at his place. (Thank you to John Jump and Bill Sanders for your help with these pics!)
