Shelby Museum Las Vegas

[breezy7]

I was in Las Vegas last week and by chance came across the Carrol Shelby facility at the Las Vegas Speedway. It is about a 20 minute drive north of the Las Vegas Strip on I-15 north. It is a combination of a few Cobras, Mustangs and a GT 40 plus a showroom with the company's current Mustang offerings. There is a tour of the production facility Mon. - Sat. at 10:30 but I was unable to make that. The business must be pretty good, there are 3 or 4 buildings were cars were being worked on. The Speedway itself is a nice facility, 2 road courses, dirt track, drag strip and a drifting area. A couple of outfits there let you burn a hole in your wallet driving various exotic cars for $40 to $100 a lap. Definitely worth the time if you are in the area.

I did 16 laps at the Richard Petty Experience there a couple of years ago. Lots of fun, though if you go, these places often have specials to make it less unaffordable.
