Very nice pics. Looks like you thoroughly enjoyed yourself.
Re: Had some fun In Vegas..(lotsa pics)
About ten years ago, we went to a "SAAC Does Vegas" Open Track / Car Show / Factory Tour at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and the Shelby Factory.
It was really cool getting to be on the track at the same time as a lot of vintage Shelby Iron (and Aluminum) and then getting to rub elbows with the same cars and drivers at the car show.
Then the factory tour was the icing on the cake.
Lots of fun times and good memories.

Re: Had some fun In Vegas..(lotsa pics)
Yes it was great fun at both events. I actually took a LOT more pics, but i kind of ran the highlights by you guys/gals. The red uni at B-J was of course a typical 350/350 installation. But it was the only Slick at either place so I put it in here. And they say a cat cant change his stripes

Really great pictures JC. Looks like you had a lot of fun. Now I will have to plan a trip to Las Vegas to see the Carroll Shelby Heritage Center. Looks like a fun place.

I noticed it had a sbc in it and made a nasty comment about it. However, I rethought it and deleted it. I'm softening in my old age.Johnny Canuck wrote:Yes it was great fun at both events.

Funny, I had a whole message typed out about the fact he took a pic of a chevy motor too, and then deleted it.

They moved Shelby's shop and museum from up by the racetrack to down on the south end just off the strip. Which was a pleasant surprise since it was real close to where we were staying!
It's a race.. Will hell freeze over or will JC finish his truck first. Stay tuned..

Hey Bill... lots of (envious) mention at Shelby on the tour- about your employer having his Daytona coupe that he actually drives once in a while.
