Message Got a bunch of pictures..

This whole meet reminded me of Zcon..

The shelby crowd is very dedicated.. similar to how we are. They are very passionate and have a man that they owe their thanks to.. similar to how we thanks Mr.K for our Z's.

My father is real big into Shelbys.. which is why I went.. We were part of the actual "Team Shelby" so we had special passes to attend events that were offered.

Nice banquet and dinner.. drinks etc.

Here are some random pictures I took while there..

The last set is of my fathers 'Super Snake GT500' He has a 2.8 liter Kenne bell twin screw supercharger and a few other mods.. The car is rated over 725hp.. Very very impressive car

.. I spent the whole day Friday wetsanding/buffing and detailing the exterior and engine bay..it.. It turned out great!


As many of you know.. Carrol Shelby recently passed away.. The whole car show took a min to salute by revving their engines together.. it was cool!

Also, Carlisle shut the town down and allowed Team shelby to cruise the streets.. then park in middle of road and everyone walked around to check each others cars out.
