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 Ohlsen, Englishman Ken Miles, and the Americans Peter Brock and Phil Re*****on. 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.
