Canyon Lake Car Club

Nine days until we leave on the HRPT.   I dialed in the last bit of the electonics and even started packing.  Packing for 16 days will be tough. 

Some of you have been asking if I'm taking the Falcon, well the Falcon is not a long hauler.  We're taking Rett's 2006 Shelby Mustang GT-H.   The H stands for Hertz, as in rental cars.   Back in 1966 Shelby converted some stock mustangs to GT350s (pluls a little) and sent them to Hertz so people could "rent a racer".  Remember, back in 1966 the Pony car was brand new, a new concept.   People started renting these hipo rod rods and racing them on the weekends.  Some even swapped the Shelby 289 engine for their stock engine.   Hertz started placing lockwire from the shock tower over to the engine block as a tell-tail of an engine swap.   For the 40th aniversary Shelby decided to make a commemerative GT-H in the classed gold on black.  Only 500 were produced which even included the same lockwire as the 1966s.

Back in December Rett and I visited Vegas and the Shelby American factory.  We also did SEMA for 3 days and even ran into the management of BangShift.
