This is my second year attending the Tap Takeover at Valley Public House, which is just a few blocks away from my home. After making new friends at last year's event, I was excited to return in 2023. I've been learning how to take panning shots with my camera, so I used this event as an opportunity to practice as people were coming and going.

The highlight for me was seeing the 2019 Ford GT. This car was developed by Ford to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the GT40's victory at Le Mans in 1966. Notably, the Ford GT Mk II marked this occasion by securing 1st and 3rd places in the Grand Touring Endurance Pro class at Le Mans in 2016. Last year, at the main Taste of Motorsports event, I had the opportunity to meet Billy Johnson. He was one of the development drivers and even raced the Ford GT at Le Mans that year, finishing an impressive 4th in their class!
