    Hi Shelby Forum,

    My new GT500 is in the garage and my wifes BMW is sitting in the driveway, I love it. I'm going to have to make room for her car which means the dragbikes are going into the race trailer. Besides the GT500 (130 miles) I have 2 dragbikes, an 11.50 bracket bike and a 7 second Prostock Harley. In 2006 I was runner-up West Coast and 6th in the nation with the AHDRA (All Harley Dragracing Association) in the Progas Class. I have the need for speed.

    I had the chance to meet Carrol Shelby in 70's when I was bartending in South Lake Tahoe. I believe he had a dealership there at that time.

    This is my first Shelby and I love it.

    If you aren't live on the edge, your taking up to much room.

    Welcome to Shelby Forums Dragracer11!. Congratulations on your GT500 purchase. Sounds like you're enjoying it!

    By the way, I don't know about the dealership but Carroll did have a tiny cabin in Tahoe up until just recently.

    The 70's we a little fuzzy for me. As I think back it have been a shop in South Lake Tahoe. I worked a local's bar called the "Boomarang" on highway 89. It was a wild time at the Lake then.
