randylasaac Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 I am not seeing this event on the 50th tour. Is this part of it or a special event on its own? This is a special event on its own, with Team Shelby Pacific Coast Region, LASAAC, Mid-America, and Lynn Park involvement to help Event Organizer Wally Parks NHRA Museum put on the best west coast 50th Anniversary Event possible.

You are correct, the only difference is a $200.00 reduction in cost if you do not want to run the open track for three (3!) days. I am not aware of any discount at the Sheraton for this event, however the hotel is next to the NHRA Museum (like 300 feet away) so the extra cost, convenience, secured parking and a nice hotel maybe worth the extra $. There are plenty of lower cost hotels near by so there are many options.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMcGuirk Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Great news, Tony Thacker Director of the NHRA Museum reports today that the race track has just gotten a fresh repave. Can't wait to get the 350 out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali_KR Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Done.......................thanks Tom. Dan, that was assuming you are tracking your Cobra, otherwise, Gold still gets you all access.. Also contected the Sheraton Fairplex. Room is 160 a night, Seems high. Any special event rates pending? email Lynn Rose at lynnrose@msn.com, she has a block of rooms at $157.

MY500SS Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Dan, that was assuming you are tracking your Cobra, otherwise, Gold still gets you all access.. I'm in for sure but not decided about tracking the Cobra. It's getting costly every time I track that little car. Last outing I broke a rocker bolt. I'm thinking of building a track only car. Keep the Cobra and SS from any more damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm playing it safe and putting the SS away (after Alex is finished) for the Europe Run. Don't want to hurt her before she gets shipped out. Are you and Lisa going to make it down for Pomona in April? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to hurt her before she gets shipped out. Are you and Lisa going to make it down for Pomona in April? We sure are. Have booked the track package and hotel. It might be the only chance I get to run on the historic track. We are headed to PS on the 14th of April for some time in the sun and then we will travel to Pomona on the Thursday (miss one day of track, time but will be there for the evening fun). From there we are headed to Albuquerque for the Tom Petty show and then home via Napa wine country. The Europe trip is a no go for us; just not enough vacation time with our Texas anniversary and long weekend trips to visit our new Granddaughter. Looking foward to visiting with you and Marji.

FordFan1 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 KEEP FLIPPING UNTIL YOU CAN DO BOTH! I wish- Sorry to say, since I can't do both that close together I have to look at participant bang for the buck, I maybe wrong but I feel the track days at Spring Mountain (Shelby Bash) VS the Pomona Fairplex dragstrip and parking lot is no comparison. Even tho the Pomona event will be really cool with more nostalgic and historic race cars.. maybe I can catch them at Monterey in August Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Marshall Parnelli Jones, who knows mabe even CS will show up. I will miss all of my shelby friends at the vegas bash, but you can only do so many event in one year. I will catch some of you at Graber's, others in Terlingua and there will always be another vegas bash. Verts allowed on the track just sort of tipped the scales.
