Shelby Open Track Pics (SAAC 35)

[Opentracker]

Yes there was. Three cars in turn 2. Two Boss 302's and a early coup.

Here is a pic. of one of them. Sad to see. I saw the other two drive by where I was and they were in worse shape.

The Trans-Am guys are having a bad month. Here is some action from Laguna.

wow #42 took a pretty decent hit on that. Guess its part of racing. Theres always a risk.

The shat-head driver with the mosquito fogger should have pulled off course instead of staying on the racing line. He caused 4 vintage cars to be damaged unnecessarily and he dropped oil all the way into the pits. That and the accident caused a clean up delay that affected the racing schedule for the rest of the day.

thats the same stuff the 2 dollar hondas do at the racetrack by me. They blow something can tell theres a problem and still go balls out all the down the strip. Which leads to a lengthy delay or closure of the lane.

So after a week on the motorcycle I finally got back and so here's the pics from the Mini Nationals at Sears Point Raceway (I refuse to use the corporate name).

Enjoy.

Supposedly the first 65 Rcode built in San Jose:

4rth from the left with the pit pass around his neck is Chuck Cantwell - project manager for the GT350 Shelby back in the day.

Far back, 5th from the left is Eric English - auto journalist and contributor to MM, Mustang and Fords, Car Craft, Hot Rod, and others.

2nd from the right, standing, and wearing sunglasses is the owner of 5S002, the car pictured (first R model GT350, and first GT350 race winner, Green Valley (Dallas) Texas in 1965).

The guy leaning over in the middle holding the door is the owner of 5S003 (first street Shelby produced)

Totally cool car...
