EL SHELBY Posted May 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Having lived and worked in the area near the bank no one should have any issues with the hotels and security. At least no more concerns then one might have in their own back yard. The area along Preston Rd from the George Bush (south of the bank) up through Frisco (north of the bank) is a very nice area.

tcaramucci Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Gus and I are at Hampton Inn near by. Our first time there so don't know how secure parking is. Perry staying there too I believe. I look forward to meeting you and seeing the Shelby's. Looks like this year i will not be the only alloy there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good afternoon, Thank you for your interest in our upcoming 5th Annual Shelby Car Show presented by LegacyTexas Bank and the Shelby Cobra Association of Texas. As always, we are excited to have you participate in our car show this year. If this is your first time to display a car, we welcome you to one of the biggest car shows in the Southwest. This one day event is free to the public and car participants and will feature Shelby American’s latest vehicles, including the 624 HP Shelby GT/SC and the limited addition 50th Anniversary Shelby FIA Cobra. It commemorates Shelby American’s 1964 introduction of the FIA version of the small block Cobra and celebrates its accomplishments as one of the most important cars in American racing history. The show will kick off at 10:00 a.m. with Shelby American’s high performance line-up which includes: The terrain-dominating Shelby Raptor The wickedly powerful GT500 Super Snake Cars from the Shelby family’s private collection Some of the new features of the show you can expect to see this year are: Ford’s Ultimate Fan Zone Ford’s Spin to Win Prize Wheel And making its Texas debut, introducing the new Carroll Shelby Merchandise Trailer. For the first time, fans will have a chance to purchase Shelby merchandise during the event from the Carroll Shelby’s Store merchandise trailer. Carroll Shelby’s Store “on wheels” will carry die casts, signs and authentic Shelby apparel which includes hats, jackets and shirts. It will have a unique selection of rare memorabilia such as legacy items signed by Carroll Shelby and limited edition prints. Also on hand this year is ESPN’s favorite sportscaster and voice of the Mavericks, Chuck Cooperstein, who will be here onsite from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. talking live with Aaron Shelby about our show and giving away ESPN prizes. We anticipate about 175+ Mustangs and Cobras this year with a large fan base following.

Glenn Greenwell Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 I have already booked a hotel reservation at a hotel, it would be really cool if we could all zero in at the same place. Driving in Friday in time for cleaning car and spending Saturday night also. Keep me posted on a hotel close to the Legacy Bank. Great time last year.

Dr_Whoovie Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Anyone know if there is a touch free car wash anywhere near the bank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewarbc Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 I know this car wash place is always busy with all kinds of cars. I drive by it all the time. I will go scope them out to ensure it's purely a no touch. I'll look for others too.

SVTSnake Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Let's look at it this way......which place has the...... BEST PARKING AVAILABLE? I am pretty picky on where I park, as I am sure you all are!! This should be the deciding factor in my opinion. Anyone familiar with all these places that can chime in with the parking situation? Beer all taste the same no matter where you get it. Food is probably last on the criteria list. fordgt500 says there is ample parking at Bonedaddy's..... but I don't want to be stuck to that one place if everyone prefers somewhere else. I'm good with whatever as long as parking is good!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
