mikeljgt500kr Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Last week my wife and I did the 5 day Texas 1000 Road Rally through the Hill Country. It was great fun, here are some pictures. Two Shelbys there (a Terlingua was supposed to be but was a no-show), my '13 GT350 'vert and a '68 KR 'vert. We had some excitement over all the back roads (we traveled nothing but Ranch Roads, Ranch to Market roads and county/state roads), including a very expensive '69 Ferrari Daytona that hit a white tail at 65mph, but the deer flipped over the car, and it escaped extensive damage. I wore my Shelby "Ferrari's Ass is Mine" 50th Anniversary FIA T-shirt that day, he was not amused. Lots of cattle guards and low water crossing dips to navigate and keep from banging your frame and mufflers. A good time I would recommend to anyone. This was the 17th running.

mikeljgt500kr Posted November 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Great job wearing the Shelby shirt there; he he he One of the Ferrari owners seemed to be clueless about the quote and history of it, but he was pretty young. I always try to wear that shirt when I take a Shelby to our Cars and Coffee monthly gathering, where several Ferraris usually show up. Great conversation starter…..

Don Johnston Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 It would have been cool to see a Shelby 1000 running the Texas 1000. Looking forward to photos and stories from the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportscars Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Vintage Rallies does good events. Although I "MAY" be a bit biased I still think SMC Events is the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeljgt500kr Posted December 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 I have not heard of those, but they look interesting too. I signed up to your email list, hope you allow newer cars, like my '13 GT350…... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
