Three days of Fun, Friends and Fantastic cars! It will be May 4-7, 2011. There will be two FULL days of track time at the Pocono Raceway. The first day is a complete Performance Driving Clinic (PDC) by the Bertil Roos racing school. This includes classroom instruction, instructor ride alongs and a 3:1 ratio of students to instructors.

sportscars Posted December 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Are they offering anything for the non-track guys (vert-no roll bar), car show, drag racing, etc? If so, cost? There are packages that do not include any track time. There is no formal car show planned as we just didn't have time to fit it in anywhere. No drags (this year:spiteful: ), but we are doing slalom runs on the front stretch of Pocono Raceway. I promise that you will have a blast doing the slalom runs. I think they are better than drags, personally. I have no problem with verts running the event. I will send you a PM about vert regulations.

I am all about making this event the best it can be. As always, let me know if you have any questions. Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DubbsFaris Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Just to add to the conversation, Sean and I are vert guys at heart as we have done all events up till now IN a vert, and we understand the limitations that we get at many tracks and events. In fact, we wanted to make sure it would be an event open to ALL Shelbys alike. Series 1, Cobras, and verts all face that problem. You wont be disappointed! Sean and I work very hard to make sure no detail gets by us in order to make every event the best it can be!! Sean has been doing most of the work on this so far due to some issues I have had with my day job, and all the other Shelby things going on in our lives currently. This is where I step in and start working out the extras and the little things, and the tedious organizing that no one but me seems to enjoy. The wierd thing is I DO really enjoy it and meeting and hanging out with all of our TS friends! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportscars Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 maybe i'm missing it, but what is the total price for this event? Depends on which package you choose, but it runs from $300 to $1000. As those who have attended some of our other events can tell you, it will be an amazing time for all. There is a reaon that people travel thousands of miles to attend. So far we have people from NY, NJ, PA, OH, NH, VA, FL, TX and even CA on the list. Thats just what I can remember off the top of my head. I'm sure I'm forgetting someone... Still waiting for the New England folks to start continue signing up.
