pagerart Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Chris, what a great sounding weekend. I sure wish I could be there, but I've had this trip planned for six months and I can't quite see explaining it to my wife. You have a great itinerary and I hope it goes so well you plan a second one. Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelsmack Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Having run with Speedventures before and had a GREAT time...I might be signing up for the Sunday Cali Speedway. I've wanted to run that course with other V8s. Great course for beginners too. No elevation changes and lots of run off in the scary bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyGal Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Talk about an early day! Let's see. leave around 430am, not a problem! At least there won't be much traffic. I might invite a few non-Shelby, but have Mustang friends. We love getting together and going for drives. We'd already planned on doing John Force anyway. Thanks for the invite!

ralphie Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Chris - I posted a thread on the "FORD GT FORUM" referring to your post here - I'd like to come down from Mammoth to participate. Do you have any knowledge as to the Tech Inspection vehicle requirements at the Speedway, as most Ford GT's don't have roll cages? Thanks, Ralphie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyPilot Posted June 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Pixelsmack is correct the 1.5 mile interior course is a good track. Nothing to get a beginer into much trouble yet fun enough to keep experienced driver's entertained. I am more to the beginer side and I have a blast. First time track participants can get a half day of instruction for free. It is well worth the track fee and gas. If we get enough people preregistered, I might be able to get us an exclusive run group. If you know you are going to go and would like a garage space, consider signing up early. The garage space is limited and goes on a first come first serve basis. Fontana in July, $20 will be a wise investment. Shelby Gal, Yeah I know it is early. For me to. I work late nights and am not a morning person. The more the merrier at every event including Cars and Coffee. But if it is just too early, I have it set up so members and friends can join us before any point. Ralphie, Thanks for posting on the Ford GT Forum. I hope to see a mix of cars other then our S197 Shelbys. You shouldn't have a problem with the Ford GT. Roll bars aren't required on vehicles except for convertibles. Shelby GT and Super Snake verts, Shelby #18 was allowed on the track with his SAI "factory" installed light bar. Ralphie also in the Ford GT realm, Shelby #18 was on the track last month with his Ford GTX. Here is a link to the tech form. You can take it to a shop to have it signed off or do it yourself. There isn't a tech inspection at the track to speak of but they will prevent or "meatball" suspicious cars from the track. http://speedventures.com/events/tech.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelbyPilot Posted July 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Hey all, A couple of things about the open track on Sunday. First, If you want to reserve a garage space be sure to register early. The garage spaces are limited, less than 20. I expect at $20 in July they will go fast. http://speedventures.com/events/eventdetail.aspx?id=176 Second, by pure chance I discovered a $20 discount for Speed Ventures by registering to use the Cars & Coffee forum. The offer came in a welcome email from the Cars & Coffee people. http://irvine.carsandcoffee.info/ Drive them well, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyPilot Posted July 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 I checked out Cars & Coffee today. We will need to roll in by 6:30 if we wish to park together. Tony and some of his friends rolled in about 7:00 am and had to park in an over flow area. Lots of great cars from Model-A to Ford GTs and BMW "Bubble Window" to F430s. There is coffe and a continental style breakfast selection of food for purchase. I then drove the rally course. I have the course locked in except for the very begining and end.

Shelby CS8 Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Chris, Try contacting the Cars and Coffee committee and see if you can get us placed in the Special Marque area that day. Let me know if you need my help on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Tony Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Yup, we were banished to the outer reaches. I was with a group organized by my local Mustang specialty shop, GTR Hi Performance. We still had fun; both getting there and while we were there. We were supposed to be there earlier but the guy who had been there before arrived late and so we left late. I ran into Chris (ShelbyPilot) with his new FRPP wheels (still an awesome car, Chris), Mike Lutz (mikesdream) who brought his gorgeous 6 month old daughter, and Alan "I won't tell you my screen name because I don't post much" Jones (20+yearShelbyOwner) who was wearing his TS shirt (just playing with you Alan). Alan was one of the Dodge Shelby guys at the Birthday Bash and it was nice talking with him. All in all a very nice day. But rally course? I didn't hear anything about a rally course. When, where, how? Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony It is part of the Saturday activities. In reality it is more of a scenic drive with a few scavenger hunt questions. Jason, Its on my to do list.

ShelbyPilot Posted July 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 I'm just curious. I know there are going to be S197 GT500, Super Snakes, 40th Anniversary, Shelby GT and at least on Shelby GT/SC coming out. Is anybody bringing another sort of Shelby vehicle? A Cobra, Shelby Dodge, Ford GT, Tiger, 60's era GT350 or GT500, a Series 1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
