    Ford Proving Grounds/Shelby American

    Looks Like May 4th is the date for the tour of the Ford Proving Grounds in Yucca Arizona!! There will be a cost with this and this will be possibly the last ever tour of the facility before it closes!!!! Sorry but you have to belong to one of these clubs to participate..Copperstate, SVTOA or AZLOC. Very Limited space of aprox. 70 people.. More info to come!! There might be a trip to Vegas to tour the entire Shelby American Facility. Keep this date in mind. More info to come!!!! Will update as info comes in..

    It wasn't me!!!! If Ford cancels they cancel but the date is ours and so far thats the deal. The retail store there is already closed so who knows what the plans are. The rumour is they are closing this faclility. We will have a sign up sheet at the next meeting, if anyone is serious about going I can put you on the list now!!
