08jester Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 I'd like to add my name to the "Snakes at the Lake" Cruise. This will be my first activity with any other Shelby owners and am looking forward to it. Please let me know what the details of the trip are when they're finalized and any other information that might be good to know about this trip. Thanks and looking forward to meeting some other owners, 2TEJOTA '09 Shelby Super Snake w/ Kenne Belle Awesome & Welcome!! Jim plans a killer cruise, it was a blast last year. What a perfect way to get that SS out and enjoy it. Here is a link to my thread of hotel accommodations if you plan on staying either in Sacramento Friday night or Tahoe Saturday night or both. Hotels book up fast in Tahoe so if you plan on staying up there you may want to get your room booked. http://www.teamshelby.com/forums/index.php?/topic/65474-tahoe-cruise-friday-sat-night-accommodations/ Look Forward to meeting you.....

I can't wait to see and hear that beast of yours. I'll get you posted on page #1. We look forward to having you join us on the cruise to Tahoe for a great BBQ and Car Show at the lake. Stay tuned for details and maps coming later this month. If you're staying the night, as Aggie indicated, please book a room now as they fill up fast. Thanks.

tdshelby Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 I am new to Team Shelby and have never been to a driving event, but I am looking at this one closely. I have a 2008 GT500KR, I havn't seen anyone else with a KR looking to go. I live in Utah, but my in-laws live in the foothills near Placerville and our family vacation coincides closely to the cruise. I may trailer my Shelby over and meet up with you somewhere along the way. If you have some more specifics on the times the caravan will be passing Placerville area that would be great. I am not quite clear what occurs once you reach the lake. Is there a drive around the lake? Will there be some maps produced that show the route? This sounds like a blast in a terrific and beautiful setting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sounds like a blast in a terrific and beautiful setting! tdshelby, Welcome to Team Shelby - Pacific Coast Region! It would be great timing if you can join us on June 25th as we caravan through Placerville on eastbound Hwy 50. I estimate that will occur just about 9am as we make our way to Lake Tahoe where we'll be having a BBQ and Car Show in Tahoe Vista until 3:30pm or so. Following the show, we'll be back on the road around the lake for some great photo ops above Incline Village (see last year's here http://www.teamshelb...0/page__st__180 starting with post #199) . Further details and maps for this year's cruise will be provided later this month, so stay tuned. In the meantime, I'll post you up on page #1 so Cali_KR (who also has a 2008 GT500KR #552 - see his sig on post #8) knows a twin might be attending.

jp1gt Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Hey Jim, There is not a lot of good places to park in Placerville. I am thinking Spring St., the second light. Anyone that wants to meet the caravan in PV, can contact me and if you can call me on the cell, we can be ready for you! I got down to 3 cars now, so the Shelby is in out of the storage building and in the garage! Washed and waxed and ready for summer, if it ever comes!!!----Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've ever been stuck in one-way controlled traffic in the Sierras... it's a PITA, not to mention a waste of fuel. Here is the official DOT link: http://www.dot.ca.go...srel/11pr23.htm I'm going to suggest that we plan on leaving Old Town Sacto a half hour later and head up I-80 to Truckee and then over Hwy 267 past Northstar as we make our way to Lake Tahoe for the BBQ and Car Show. This is a more direct route with great scenery and it won't require a fuel stop if leaving Sacto full. We could pick you up at the Dry Creek exit in Auburn like we did last year for the Patriot Day run. Since this isn't set in stone, I welcome feedback on this suggested change of route from members attending the cruise. Thanks. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce, That would be a great cruise, but to make Tahoe Vista by noon, you'd have to leave Old Town Sac at approximately 7am to get there (which includes a 1 hour fuel stop in Meyers for maybe 60+ cars). Additionally, quite a few members are coming from the Bay Area, so it would be a really early morning for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdshelby Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 My in-laws live near Jackson. I come from Utah and drive Highway 88 all the time and it's a beautiful drive. Caples lake and others up there have some nice vistas. Thanks for keeping an eye on the road construction. I will be coming from Utah so I will miss the drive up the Sierras but will likely meet up with the group in at Lake Tahoe. Where is everyone meeting up in Lake Tahoe ? What is the place called?

bluebyou Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Hello Everyone: I just found out about this cruise from another Shelby owner (GT 500), Rob Keller. We're both members of the Sacramento Area Mustang Club and would really love to partake in this awesome-sounding cruise. Don't have a Snake. Just a 2008 Shelby GT vert. Hope that's OK. But we are also trying to get some other members of our club to join in as well. I'll keep checking back in to find out the details. I think the drive up I-80 is not a bad drive if Hwy 50 is still closed. Anyway, glad to find out you guys are so active and hope to join you.

We'll depart from Old Town Sacramento and make our way through the Sierras to our car show and BBQ at the North Tahoe Regional Park overlooking the lake in Tahoe Vista. We have reserved the facility from 11am til 4pm. Lunch will be served at approximately 12:30pm. Because of CalTrans construction currently underway on Hwy 50 near South Lake Tahoe, we may ultimately head up to the lake via I-80 through Truckee. A decision on our route will be made next month when Caltrans updates road construction progress. Maps will then be posted. I will include you on post #1 on page #1.

wolfdogmom Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 I'm new to this site. We have a 2011 Shelby GT 500 Convertible and am wondering if you can give us some information about the "Snakes at the Lake" cruise and car show. We live in the Vacaville area and might be interested in participating. Thanks First, I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year as we ring-in 2011. Looking forward to this coming year, I also wanted to post-up notice of this summer's Tahoe Cruise, which is scheduled for Saturday, June 25th. Tentative plans have us departing Old Town Sacramento again and cruising up Highway 50 through the Sierras as we make our way to the lake. We'll make a fuel stop at the Chevron station in Meyers and stage at the golf course next door (where members from Nevada could meet us) before heading up Hwy 89 on the west side past Emerald Bay on our way to Tahoe Vista, where we are currently making plans for a Car Show. This year we'll be conducting the cruise as a charity event for the Carroll Shelby Foundation, which most of you I'm sure are familiar with. It's an opportunity for us to give something back to Mr. Shelby (not to mention for a great cause as well). Also, as many of you may have noticed, Team Shelby is in the process of ramping-up activities in the various regions around the country. Our Pacific Coast Region Director, Michael McGuirk, will provide more information in the near future on how this cruise will dovetail with those efforts. So stay tuned for more details. In the meantime, mark your calendars and post-up if you're interested in joining us for a great day on the road and at the lake: 1. SVT NAJA - Concord 2. SicShelby - Modesto 3. Cali_KR - South Bay 4.
