MMcGuirk Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Hey Cali Team Shelby members - This cruise is like the Bash cruise, but with twice the cars! It's really an impressive site to see, 120 hot rodded Mustangs and Shelbys in a conga line down I 5, cruising to Buena Park. We have the final rally point at the base of the Grapevine (north side) at the Petro station on Laval road. If you can't join us for the cruise, it's worth stopping by the Marriot Courtyard on Beach Blvd in Buena Park Friday afternoon. We all clean up our rides and have a few. Hope to see you there!

9Venom9 Posted March 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Lost Hills from Santa Nella is a 2 hour drive with an hour stop for lunch. From there its about another 2 hours or so.. We never go on any time line because we like to just cruise out there plus with close to 150 cars I wont make any promises on a time line that chances are wont work even if we tried. Our top speed on this cruise is between 75-80.. With both classic and new cars, trailer queens on this cruise we want to make sure everyone gets there safe.

From what I've been hearing from other members, this is something you will not want to miss. We can hardly wait. I was going to trailer my car the whole way down, now I am going to drive it at least part of the way. Don't want to regret joining in on this......
