A group of America’s greatest automotive performance legends will visit the first Team Shelby Nationals this year. Icons Carroll Shelby, Tom Yeager, Alan Grant and Bill Neale will appear at various times throughout the event on June 12-15, 2008, at the Mid-America Ford Performance and Team Shelby Nationals in Tulsa, Okla.
Over 30,000 people are expected to attend the evolution of what has been the pre-eminent Ford and Shelby show during the past 34 years to see Mr. Shelby and the other stars.
The Mid-America Ford Performance and Shelby Meet began as a picnic hosted by Jim Wicks and a group of diehard enthusiasts in 1974. Today, it has blossomed into a multi-day event with drag racing, road racing exhibitions, a trade show, a cruise night, car show and a banquet.
“Over the years, some of the most important people, companies and cars have been part of the Mid-America Meet,” said event founder and organizer, Jim Wicks. “With the evolution of the event to include the Team Shelby Nationals, we’ll have the highest profile people and most important companies represented at the event this year. We’re especially pleased that high ranking executives with Ford Motor Company, along with Carroll Shelby and his Shelby Autos team will be part of the festivities.”
The 2008 Nationals currently will feature:
• High Performance Shelby driving school on Wednesday at Hallett Motor Racing Circuit
