2017 Team Shelby East Coast Grand Nationals - SAVE THE DATE - June 1st to the 4th

[Bruce2009KR]

As one who is tempted to bring along golf clubs, fishing rods, etc. curious if anyone else is considering the same. Apparently there are some very nice golf courses near Carlisle and a Sunday round is something I'm kicking around.

That could be an interesting addition to next years program.

There would be no room in trunk for me!!

 

But I am not a golfer either

I'll drive the beer cart!!!!

Made it to All-Ford Nationals Showfield at Carisle today. Nice location, just about center showfield. The tent and all the parking signs are set up for Team Shelby. See you guys tomorrow!

[BIKEBOY]

Nice pic Bill! Have fun up there!! :happy feet:

[Bruce2009KR]

It was an amazing day yesterday at Summit Point! To really see what your Shelby is all about, this is a must-try event! Up early and looking forward to the Poker run here shortly!

[sheppd01]

I want to thank everyone who attended this year. It was awesome!!!!!!

A special thanks to Z-man and the guys at HOD. Without them it wouldn't have been possible.

Let us know what you liked the most and what we need to improve upon.

 

My favorite was the moving car show!!!! 50 Shelbys on a 100 mile cruise. At times I had a hard time concentrating on the road ahead because I was to busy looking at the never ending line of Shelbys behind. Getting stuck behind the truck painting the double yellow lines for 10 miles wasn't ideal but it was still great fun.

 

I hope you enjoyed yourself and do it again next year......and bring your friends.

Thank You to everyone who worked so hard to make this event such a success.

It was awesome. Looking forward to what is planned for next.

[Joe Wear 29706]

Dave,

You guys did an AWSOME job! We had a Great time!

My wife and I enjoyed the cruise the most. The route was very scenic, fun to drive and Gettysburg was cool.

Looking forward to next year!

[Mustangcollector]

My boys and I had a GREAT time at Summit Point, the Charlestown racetrack, Gettysburg, and Carlisle! Bill, and everyone else who worked so hard for months to pull off so many fun and different planned events over the course of 3+ days, we sincerely appreciate the effort...it was definitely a special weekend to remember. The event lived up to and even exceeded our expectations!

 

Thanks again to everybody at Team Shelby, Shelby American, the Foundation, and anyone I may have inadvertently missed.

Carlisle took some nice pictures if you want to look through them.

 

Some pretty nice photos there, and a lot of them feature Team Shelby members, our cars, and our events.

 

Cool!

[Z-man]

I posted this on Facebook yesterday, but wanted to repost it here as well.....

 

Where do I even start???

 

It's been one heck of a past few days. Road racing, horse racing, Poker Run, Civil War battle field, Grand Entrance, proclamation from the Mayor of Carlisle, Charity auction, Red Carpet walks, 3000+ Show cars on display, awards, and TWO prototype Super Snakes.

 

But more importantly, I got to spend the better part of the past week with well over 100 of my closest Shelby friends. Some I hadn't seen in a year. Some I had worked with for almost a year on this event, but had never met face to face until last Wednesday night, and some new friends I only made over the past few days.

 

We celebrated the true spirit of Carroll Shelby, and I would like to think we would have him proud, and maybe even made him smile once or twice.

 

There are so many folks to thank. Fellow Regional Director Bob Zinzell, for bringing Hooked On Driving to run the track portion of our event. State Directors Walt Mayo, James Brewington, William Wild Bill Evans, Dave Mustang Sheppard, for their many, many hours of hard work. Virginia Regional Directors Nickie Armstrong and Bill Hale, and possibly the most motivated Team Shelby member I know, Justin Emanuel.

 

Tracey L Smith and Scott Black, your support and guidance is invaluable. Gary Patterson and Sam Trout, it's not a party until you guys show up. Jenni Shreeves, thanks for bringing "the good stuff" for the auction. Please let us know the final tally when you add it up. And many thanks to Bex Russ, our new Shelby Girl, for being sweet and charming all weekend (I get the feeling that we will be seeing you again in 2018...by popular demand!)

 

Speaking of 2018, someone asked me how long we relax before we start planning next years event. I just smiled and said "We started brainstorming ideas a few months ago".....and wait until you see what we already have in store for next year!!!

 

Put the first weekend of June in your calendar now, and invite a friend to come join us and have some damn fun....I know I did.

Northeast Regional Director, Team Shelby

Pictures to follow.... as soon as I get them organized and edited.

[Bruce2009KR]

I was telling someone that I get giddy when I see three or four Shelby's at a car show, so to say I was overwhelmed at having 50-60 all around is an understatement! Nice to finally meet many of you in person and I look forward to next year's event! Thanks again.

Congrats to the Northeast chapter for putting on a great event!

[Z-man]

Congrats to the Northeast chapter for putting on a great event!

 

Thanks for the compliment, but it wasn't just the Northeast Region who helped produce the event this year. In order to make it a full East Coast National event, we teamed up with the South Atlantic Region. They helped tremendously, especially at Summit Point, Charlestown, and with the Poker Run/Cruise. It would not have been as successful an event as it was with their help and support.

 

Thank you South Atlantic!

[Mustangcollector]

Best event since 2012 and my wife and I had a fantastic time. Thanks to ALL who put so much effort into making this happen. Good weather, beautiful cars, and great people! Already looking forward to next year.

Here is an article that Bex Russ, our Shelby Girl, wrote and submitted to Shocker Racing about her experience at the Team Shelby East Coast Grand Nationals last week. Shocker liked it so much they published it on their website.

 

Please check it out, give it the highest rating, and vote for "Our Girl" in the Shocker Racing Calendar contest (its at the top of the left hand column, right next to her article).

 

Way to go Bex!!!

I had to attend a graduation ceremony in Virginia. On my way back North on Sunday, I saw a bunch of mustangs traveling South on 81. Saw a nice Vista Blue KR around 10:30 in the morning headed south on 81. Anyone here ??

[Z-man]

If anyone missed out at the show, there are still a few t-shirts left. They are $20 each plus shipping

 

 

 

Amazingly, I have a very limited supply of door decals/"meat balls" left as well. These are $50/matching set of two decals, plus shipping

 

 

PM me here, or e-mail teamshelbynorthreast@icloud.com

T-shirts are selling fast.

 

One is on its way to Mexico and two are headed to Australia!

 

Only two smalls left ( for smaller kids or the petite Team Shelby members), and about a half dozen XL.

 

Once they are gone, you will be out of luck, as we will not be printing a second run.

[Z-man]

REMINDER: If you want to purchase event photos, you only have until July 11th (next Tuesday) to do so. Better put it on your weekend 'to do' list!
