[quote:***DRAGOON***:MV8xODY2MTI4XzMxMTI4MzczX0RCNUU5REUy] [quote:Liquid_Pestilence:MV8xODY2MTI4XzMxMTI2OTAwX0UwNUVBODdB] I had the opportunity to hang out with him at his vegas shelby plant at the speedway for about 3 hours one day back in 2003 or so. We had about 15 guys in a van and decided to check out the speedway on the way back from some red flag ops at Nellis AFB we were involved in. We were all greeted at the door of the plant by Carroll Shelby himself and given a personal walk-threw where he showed off all his toys. We ending up getting to go on the track while they were doing some high speed testing of his new carbon cobra and talk to the engineers and crew chiefs that built the car. He was an extremely nice guy to us that seemed to love and respect the military and what we did about as much as we were in awe of what he did. Thanks for the memories Carroll, RIP :hf: [/quote] [b][color=darkred]Awesome experience, Thanks for sharing[/color][/b] [/quote]
