No brand has had more of an impact in motorsports – or been less recognized for those achievements – than Kar-Kraft. This independent contractor, located just minutes from Ford headquarters, was assigned the contract to construct and develop two of the most dominant racecars of the 1960s: the Ford GT40 Mk II and Mk IV; cars that won Le Mans in 1966 and 1967.

Join us on Saturday, January 20, for an in-depth presentation on the history of Kar-Kraft featuring three individuals with intimate knowledge of the company’s history and legacy:

– Charles Henry, author of the new book Kar-Kraft; Racecars, Prototypes and Muscle Cars of Ford’s Specialty Vehicle Activity Program, Mike Teske, who is a recognized authority on the Ford Mk II and Mk IVs and Karl Kainhofer, who is the legendary first employee of Penske Racing who also worked at Kar-Kraft. 

The tribute to Kar-Kraft will begin at noon on January 20 and will include presentations by each of these individuals.
