What did you do this weekend? Mow the lawn? Have a BBQ? hang out at the beach? How about race a STILLEN-equipped Ford GT supercar around closed public roads? Well that’s what Steve Millen found himself doing this weekend.
As you may know Steve was born and raised in New Zealand before moving to America in the early 80’s to launch his very successful North American racing career. Now that he no longer races professionally he enjoys competing in Targa Rallies, hill climbs, and “street sprints.” You may or may not also be aware that STILLEN is the only shop certified by Ford Motor Company to service the Ford GT’s sophisticated transmission. You bring a GT to a dealer and they’ll tell you, “Call STILLEN.” It’s been a few years since we first became involved with the Ford GT, but the car is every bit as fun as it was then. This particular event was a “Street Sprint”, a point to point race basically consists of blasting around public roads (closed for the event) – with your trackday weapon of choice. Check out a a few action shots of Steve hustling the STILLEN Ford GT around the Ruakaka Street Sprint. Pictures come courtesy of Amy Davidson (Steve’s niece.)
