yoggiebhr Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 I'm flying into Vegas tomorrow for business and plan on making my very first visit to Shelby on thursday. I'm so exicted! The last time I was in Vegas I was still dreaming of owning a Shelby. Now I'm a proud owner of a 08 Shelby GT....just wish I could be driving it instead of flying. So...any of you folks working at Shelby...if you see a short fella with a goatee staring in wonder with tears in his eyes...that'll be me!!

Gregg Gregg, If you can try to be at SAI at 10:30am for the once a day tour that includes taking visitors out into the production area. The museum and gift shop are open all day from 8-5 but the guided tour only happens once a day at 10:30am sharp. Enjoy your stay in Las Vegas, we're glad to have you come visit us.

yoggiebhr Posted February 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Hi Steve! I'm going to try to pick up a rental car first thing thursday morning and be out there for the tour. I'd love to see the production area knowing my car had been through there years ago. I'm honestly so excited I may not sleep any between now and then...LOL Thanks!

Jer Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Anyone flying in should ask for me at the Receptionist Desk, so I can say Hello and help make your tour the best it can be! Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HARALD KELLEY Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Anyone flying in should ask for me at the Receptionist Desk, so I can say Hello and help make your tour the best it can be! Jer Need they say anymore. Gregg, enjoy the tour and do snoop around the complex as you never know what may be seen. I do not mean that in a bad or secretive way, just check the Las Vegas Speedway complex out. Pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbymotorsports Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Jer, is an appointment necessary for the tour or can us locals just drop in? Assuming I drive my GT500 No reservations necessary. And of course locals are always welcome, how do you think we got Jer In fact the Vegas locals were one of the reasons SAI opened up the museum & gift shop on Saturdays. SAI listened to customer feedback and one of the biggest concerns from Vegas locals was that they were not able to visit us M-F because they were at work. http://www.shelbyamerican.com/Tours.asp Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verlyn12 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 I visited SAI and did the tour just a year ago and we are attending our first Bash next month. The tour is awesome and I can't say enough about the courtesy of the employees. My husband wasn't able to go on that trip and I think he's tired of me telling him how neat it was. I am anxious to hear what he thinks after we go there during the Bash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbymotorsports Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Richard Valdez is the person who will give you the tour....great guy!! Richard is just one of the three or four regular tour guides here at SAI. The tour guides rotate turns so its not a guarantee that Richard will be conducting the tour that day. Just an FYI Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulthreestang Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 I bring my '08 SGT-C up to SAI at least once a year and do the tour. The car gets a little home sick now and then and likes to revisit its place of birth ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
