Shelby Terlingua GTG in Terlingua, Tx

Well started off as a startling morning with Rick calling me while I was having coffee telling me he need to go to the Hospital in Alpine, Tx, but he seemed to have sucked it up and made it the whole day without going.

We got to the airport at 7am and set up the cones for the quarter mile runs, half mile runs and the salom.

The funny thing was (I'm so going to get in trouble here, double actually : ) all the guys were standing around talking amongst themselves to see who was going to go get the Bull Run Girls, while I sat in the convertible, then Warren one of the organizers looks at me and asks if I would go get them, like he was going to get in touble for doing that, so I did, the funny thing is that they had NEVER been in a GT500 let alone a convertible, they so thought they were big pimp'n as they put it LMFAO!

So I sat out the quarter mile runs to get you all some pictures of the event but stepped up to the plate during the half mile runs, and took the convertible to 140mph in the half mile, YES I'm the guy in the yellow shirt, the gentleman sitting next to me is Chuck McDonald, we have been talking since yesterday, he came all the way from Penn. dragging his car on a trailer.

Chuck then tossed me the keys to his stock red GT500 coupe (#15) which I blasted the half mile at 130mph in.

BTW the silver GTX1 and the black 2010 Snake both make 1000rwhp! The GTX1 is one of thirty five roofless twin turbos, the guys name is Rick and is the moderator on the Ford GT forums, and will be following us back to Austin sunday, and following me half way to Houston monday morning.

After a impressive catered lunch we proceeded to the salom course, I watched for a little bit, and it was AWN!!!

I imediately went out in the Terlingua and busted of a 33 second pass to the fastest of a 36 second pass.
Now this salom is a little different, you start in a box, leave, do the salom, turn around redo the salom, and flip around and backup in reverse back into the box, and time out.

I started to give rides at that point, then I did it in reverse with a time of 42 seconds, beating out the best time of the guy who won it last year, whom was driving it forward, and also beat Rick's best forward time, note I was the only one whom did the whole course in reverse, Ken the guy who's hood I signed did it half and half.

While giving rides, I beat my best time of 33 seconds with a 31 second run, lets just say I beat the **** outta that little Terlingua, hopefully I can get some vids from the people that were taping, plus we have some incar footage as well, Rick, to say the least was very excited and was just loving it!

So the non-Shelby owner trumped all the other shelby guys.

Then I looked at Chuck and said, let me beat up on your Coupe (#15) in the salom, and proceeded to click off a 35 second run, before we packed it all in in.

It was a great day everyone loved the rides, there was a lot of clapping, laughing, and dubachery had by all.

I took a picture of the times and sent them to John to post so be ready for those.

AND JOHN I LOVE YOU THANKS SO MUCH FOR POSTING ALL THESE PICTURES FOR US TO ENJOY!!!

John meet me at PSI monday and we'll go do the Beer Garden for lunch sir

Well after a formal dinner tonight, we having the outlaw golf cart races, yeah this should get pretty crazy, then off to La Kiva for drunk'n dubachery.

Tomorrow is the cruise to Marfa, Texas, and the car show, so stay tuned, the way this weekend is going, you never know what may be next.

And Rick in the GTX1 was giving rides all day, women walked away squeeking (can I say that), I think some guys **** their pants, but everyone was just beside themselves from that car and it's power.



CHEERS!! Jeff - :navajo:

Yes, you are in trouble! First, you didn't tell me that it was MY convertible down there and then you put the Bull Run Girls in it? Geez... Please tell me that they at least appreciated the horsepower and the "wheeeee" than just the pimpin mood lighting?

Anyhoo, I'm proud of you for winning. And I know that Rick just loved it. Now, let's discuss how to make this up to me....I am thinking the remote control front license plate bracket or better yet....my supercharger. :

[MrQ]

HOLY ****!!!


Ok, 10pm here we're still without power, all the way from Lajitas to Terlingua, the RioGrande flooded one way out, and there are at least 5 other water crossing that are way flooded, we traversed them, to get to Terlingua but huge rocks in the road, and lots of structure damage, one house totally burned to the ground from lightning.

The car trailer was moved some 3-4feet from where it was parked, and looks like it was left at the end of a driving range and golfers took to it like a fat kid on a cup cake, it's totaled.

The Terlingua has several thousand dollars worth of damage to it as does the truck, but not near as bad as the trailer.

We have no cell phones, the tower was damaged and with no power, NOTHING.

The Resort has a stand by generator running part of the office which includes the WiFi, and I'm in the truck with the power cable, Rick took the generator out of the trail and has it running his junk in his room.

Lemme see if I can up load some pictures for you all, it was bad!

Sounds like what happened during Ike down here. Lotsa wind, some nice size hail, and mucho damage.

Sorry about the car man. Geez, what a sweet ride. Can't imagine insurance on that thing though.

Hahahah, my computer decided it wanted a vacation so it has refused to turn on the last couple of days. I was using our computer/entertainment system for use last night. I had just gotten off the phone and found out that MY vert was down there (we will hopefully be buying it in a few months ) and that he put the "toothpicks" in there. I was so frustrated that I didn't check who was logged in. :

Leebo, I am so with you. I called him yesterday morning to check on Rick. He asked if he could call me back because he was fixing to drag race. Then he actually called me later on at work, as I am dealing with the worst of our juvenile delinquents and the over-abundance of incompetence from our workers, just so he could let me hear the guys doing donuts and burnouts.

He has so much making up to do he'll be in debt for years.

Turdle, on a side note, expect a package this week. Reaper is now in the body shop getting his custom paint job and he will debut at LRS' 10th Anniversary, in Ennis, TX on November 14th. I am so hoping to win something.

 

[Turdle]

Oh boy!!!
