Event Description


In the 1960s sports car racing in America was dominated by Shelby American, the company started by Carroll Shelby to build the iconic Cobra. Everybody knows his name, but the people who actually made this company so successful are less well known.

Join us on November 23 as we honor four people who were critical for the success of Shelby American: New Zealander John Olson, Englishman Ken Miles, and the Americans Peter Brock and Phil Remington. We will profile each of these individuals, and talk about the cars that they had a role in building and making world champions.

As a special guest, we will also have Chuck Cantwell, the father of the Shelby GT 350. Chuck will share his insights into these key members of the Shelby team from his personal experience, as well as the cars he and they created.

Event Highlights:

  • Live Demonstrations: Watch these legendary cars come to life on our 3-acre demonstration tarmac. Feel the excitement as each vehicle showcases the engineering brilliance and speed that made them record-breakers in their respective eras.
  • Historical Insights: Delve into the captivating stories of how these cars broke speed records and the visionary drivers and engineers who pushed them to their limits.
  • Q&A Session: Participate in an engaging Q&A session with our museum experts. Learn more about the technological advancements, challenges, and triumphs of these historic speed machines.

Whether you're an automotive enthusiast or a history lover, this Demo Day is an unmissable opportunity to see these legendary cars in action and celebrate the incredible feats of speed and innovation.
