One of our own on TV - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

I was flipping channels the other night and landed on the History Channels "Counting Cars". They were doing a Mustang build and were touring the Shelby museum. I immediately spotted a familiar face, our very own ZR-1er Gary Patterson was giving the tour. Brought back some great memories of the Vegas ZR-1 gatherings from years past. Gary hosted a super BBQ at his house and took us on a private after-hours tour of the Shelby facility. Many of us were also lucky enough to be in the passenger seat with him while lapping at Spring Mountain. I had no idea what the real capabilities of my car were until I let Gary take the wheel, I was absolutely terrified the first lap but that quickly turned to exhilaration and awe at his amazing driving skill. Good times!
