NOTE: As of noon on 3/20/15 the upper plaza location is now full with 50 vehicles. However, the Blackhawk has arranged to secure the lower plaza parking area so we are able to expand the charity car show spaces available. Please keep this in mind if you decide to donate and show your vehicle. All entrants will be eligible for awards regardless of display location. Thanks.

Team Shelby – Pacific Coast Region in partnership with the Blackhawk Automotive Museum http://www.blackhawkmuseum.org/ conveniently located in the San Francisco East Bay suburb of Danville, is excited to bring this 2nd annual charity event honoring the legacy of Carroll Shelby to NorCal “Powered by Ford” enthusiasts. This memorial car show will feature Shelby, Ford GT, Cobra, Tiger and Boss vehicles. Although show entry requires a nominal donation, spectator attendance is free to all. Several special guests, including Peter Brock, are scheduled to attend. A couple of vehicle surprises are in the works too. Tim McGrane, Executive Director of the Blackhawk Museum (and a former Barrett Jackson executive) will be on hand to help judge entries and issue some neat trophies!

RSVP’s and pre-payment of a charity donation of $35 (or more if you wish :) per entered vehicle is required for this event so we can anticipate parking layout on the museum’s photo-op perfect plaza. Upper plaza entries will be limited to the first 50 vehicle reservations. As noted above, additional charity car show spaces are available for reservation on the lower plaza parking area. Please use the GoFundMe link below to facilitate this transaction. When your payment is confirmed, this will be noted on the roster below. Donated entry fees will be shared with the Carroll Shelby Foundation http://www.cscf.org/ and Wheels for Chairs http://www.blackhawk...um.org/w4w.html

Payment Link: http://www.gofundme.com/nlc014 - Reservations are requested by Sunday May 3rd. Thanks!

So mark your calendars and post-up if you’re interested in joining us with your entry - or as a spectator, for a great day at the Blackhawk Museum honoring Carroll Shelby with other “Powered by Ford” enthusiasts. Please note the year and model of your vehicle when replying so trophy categories / quantities can be determined in advance based upon expected attendance.

Note: For ease of editing, I’ll maintain the list of Memorial Classic car show entries in Post #2 immediately below.

The show starts at 10am and ends at 2pm. Owners entering their vehicles in the show should arrive by 8:30am to allow adequate time for staging, and once on the plaza, will not be able to exit until sometime after 2pm. Please note that parking at one edge of the plaza is sometimes subject to overspray from the water fountains in windy conditions, although this is rare. Also, there are several restaurants in the complex to enjoy lunch at.

The Blackhawk Automotive Museum is located at 3700 Blackhawk Plaza Circle, Danville, CA 94506

Here is an aerial view of the upper plaza where the car show will take place and reserved spectator parking appears in the lower right corner https://maps.google....&gl=us&t=h&z=20

Any question, please ask here or send me a g-mail message as noted below. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday May 9th in Danville!

Thanks,

Jim

Synchronize your watch for 1:30 pm when the "Moment of Noise Music" for Carroll happens once again!
 
This looks like fun but I won't be able to make it. Are either of you going to make it to Laguna Seca with us? Even if you don't track your car come hang out with us. It's free.

Team Shelby – Pacific Coast Region can now confirm some really exciting news!

Working with Tim McGrane, Executive Director of the Blackhawk Automotive Museum in Danville, we have been able to arrange for CSX2299 – one of the original 6 Shelby Daytona Coupes – to be present for designer Peter Brock’s presentation at the 2A CSMC at BAM on May 9th.

Here is a video clip of No.13 followed by a brief description of its historical significance.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsHPMd_cCZ8

CSX-2299 (blue No. 13 Daytona Coupe): Shelby wanted to race Cobras in Europe in 1964, but the Cobra roadsters hit an aerodynamic “wall” at about 150 mph and were unsuitable for the long, high-speed European circuits. Shelby had designer Pete Brock pen a fastback coupe body. Brock’s handiwork allowed the cars to go 20 mph faster just based on more efficient aerodynamics. Six coupes were built, and they were nicknamed the “Daytona Coupe.” CSX-2299 was the second one built, and it had the best racing record of the six examples. It finished first in the GT class and fourth overall in its debut race at Le Mans with Dan Gurney and Bob Bondurant (handing Ferrari its first defeat in the GT class at Le Mans since the class was established in 1959), and took the same result in the season-ending Tourist Trophy at Goodwood in England with Gurney. It also took first in GT and second overall in the 1965 24 Hours of Daytona (Jo Schlesser/Hal Keck) and first in GT/fourth overall in the 1965 12 Hours of Sebring (Bondurant/Schlesser), helping Shelby become the first (and, to date, only) American manufacturer to win the FIA GT World Manufacturers Championship. CSX-2299 is considered the most valuable Cobra in existence.

This rare appearance is made possible by the generous donations of Miller Motorsports (home of Boss Track Attack), Reliable Carriers and AIG Insurance. We hope you can join us to enjoy this very special addition to the Memorial Classic!

Rick,

Last year's appearance of No.13 was a real treat, but it didn't come cheap. This time around, having it available as a perfect backdrop for Pete Brock's presentation is being done as part of the CSMC charity event.

And now that we've confirmed something old, I'm working on something new (if you know what I mean ;-) that BMO members will enjoy in person or the pictures to follow...

Oh, did I mention that Barry Meguiar and his Car Crazy Central film crew are scheduled to be on hand? ;)
