swbstudios Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Wow! cool cars, a fun drive, a great goodie bag and a wonderful lunch! Let me add my thanks to Chris and his crew, Amy and Team Shelby for organizing and supporting such a well planned and enjoyable event. We drove our little GLHS to the event and were enthusiastically welcomed by everyone. It was a really great collection of outstanding cars and friendly owners. To make a great day even better, Caprice and I were lucky enough to win the set of tires and a discount on wheels at the raffle! We had a great time at the Birthday Bash and now this, we are certainly looking forward to our next event with Team Shelby and it's members.

ShelbyPilot Posted July 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 A quick synopsis of Today's track event. We had seven participants come to the track today. Including myself, MY500SS brought his Super Snake, Jason Cenora (Shelby CS8) brought his CS8, Berny brought his Shelby GT, Joe and Ken brought GT500s. Somebody brought along an enemy combatant with a supercharged 2006 Vette. Ron was a cool guy despite his choice of cars. Fortunately most were gone and did not see me spin out during the last session. I will report more later this week. In the meantime here are some PHOTOS One housekeeping thing from Saturday. Some of the gift bags were misplaced in a support car on Saturday and not discovered until last night. Jason passed them on to me. A couple were given out today and one is promissed to a member who raised a concern about not getting one. That leaves three bags. If you attended any event Saturday and did not get a bag and would like one please PM me. We will just have to figure out a way to hand them off. Thanks Again, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelbyPilot Posted July 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 LOL, in that picture it looks like somebody filled his quota in one shot ........ The faux police car is actually a company car for a teen driving school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Knudsen Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 My observations as to the Saturday festivities: Thank you to Amy, Chris and Jason for a wonderful day. I attended all events on Saturday along with my 8 year old daughter. My wife and another two of my kids attended several of the events. We all had a great time. It was well organized, the car show was fun, and it was great to see all the cars. It was great to hang out with other "car" folks and talk cars. Some more observations that reflect my personal biases, likes and dislikes: 1. Coolest car to participate was the Vista Blue 68 GT500KR. Thanks for bringing it out. A lot of the other cars were cool, but the 68 was the coolest. 2. Looking at pictures only, I was not a big fan of the super snake conversion. Seeing the cars in person was something else. Dan's Grabber Orange vert was simply electric. Talk about eye grabbing, and the more I looked at it the more I liked it. 3. I like red coupes with white stripes. I do not really like red coupes with black stripes. Unless it is a super snake. In a coupe, the red super snake has a mean but almost subtle look. MY500SS's (Steve?)red super snake coupe looks good. It made me want to buy a red one and super snake it. 4. I think my 8 year old daughter was the youngest one to join the cruise. She had as much fun as I did. I love the car hobby, and I really like making it a family event. 5. A Shelby Mustang looks and sounds good. 25 or so of them together looks and sounds better. 6. My idiot moment of the weekend was standing in front of my white w/blue stripes GT500 hitting the unlock button on the remote and looking blankly at the guy sitting behind the wheel of my car, with my daughter tugging on my arm repeating "Dad. Dad. Dad." Oops, not my car. Mine was three spots down. My bad. Overall, what a great day. I am looking forward to the next one, and thanks again to Amy and the Shelby organization for supporting us, Chris for all his hard work in making it happen, and Jason for his efforts. It was great to meet everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StokedShelbyOwner Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 I just got a chance to look at ShelbyPilot's pics, I NEVER seem to get my camera out enough at an event becuse it takes a whole lot of work to shoot that much but you made it happen Chris. Nicely done, I did a bunch of 'right clicking and save as' from your photo bucket album. For as many years as I've owned Shelby Dodges (I'm not quite old enough or $$ enough for 60's Shelby's) I have always been passionate about them but we were a bit of the 'Red Headed Stepchild' in the Shelby community. In just ONE SHORT YEAR (or less) ALL the cars that Carroll Shelby built and inspired have come together under the leadership of Team Shelby and it's member's. When I first heard talk of a club for all Shelby's I was skeptical at best. Seeing is believing as they say, all the Shelby cars (yes, even the Dodges) have been welcomed at both of the Team Shelby events I have been to so far B) I'm in Team Shelby for the long haul and will continue to support the club and it's events for as long as I have the passion, (probably forever ) Now, to send in next year's dues while I'm thinking of it...
