"Wednesday morning had us gathering at Carroll Shelby Enterprises
in Gardena. A tour of Carroll’s private collection and the Shelby
Engine plant were at our leisure. With about 100 cars registered
for the cruise to Las Vegas, it was decided that we would divide the
cars into three groups. Each group had a lead pace car, a rear pace
car, and were set off with about 10 minutes between groups. After
the drivers meeting at 8:30am, it was on to our scheduled stop in
Barstow, which is about half way between Los Angeles and Las Vegas........."

"Early the next morning we gathered in Gardena.
Carroll keeps a number of his personal cars there, and as
this facility is not open to the public, it is a treat to see the
large and unique collection of his cars there.
Last year there were 87 cars on the cruise to Las Vegas, this year the number grew to 106 cars! You can appreciate the logistics of trying to get 106 cars all going in the same direction, especially when you add LA traffic into the mix........"

The weather forecast was good, so it was decided to drive our 2008 GT500 convertible........"

SPRING, 2011 - GRABBING YOUR ATTENTION
"This Grabber Yellow 1969 GT350 was delivered to Fogg Motors in New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada from the factory with a 351 Windsor and four-speed transmission. Fogg Motors was a big supporter of the Shelby line, and much has been written about their involvement in this effort. The original owner entered his Shelby in the New Westminster May Day Parade in 1970, and as luck would have it, long time SAAC member Tom Dankel had his picture taken next to it on Water Street [see the photo of the ten year-old Tom, standing beside the line of Shelbys.]........."
