Shelby's Racin' for a Purpose.....
Bringing Awareness to Su***de Prevention was never our intention when we held the first Shelby's Outlaw Shootout at Mountain Park Dragway in Clay City,Kentucky.After Shelby passed away a good friend of his Saul Procter and the owner of www.kyhorsepower.com came to me about doing a memorial drag race for Shelby

I was all in,you see every year KY Horsepower a Kentucky based forum has a Fall & Spring Shootout for their members at Clay City. The members of this forum all became close friends,because they shared a common passion for the street car scene and taking those cars ( whether factory built and modified or purpose built race cars ) to the Mountain Park Dragway.The drag strip was a place they could take their cars for "test & tune" sessions or match races to claim bragging rights,this was Shelby's play ground and where his friends were. Our first Shelby's Outlaw Shootout was Spring of 2010, just a few months after Shelby's death and this first and what was suppose to be the last Shootout with the Ky Horsepower members was very emotional and personal for all of us,but a huge success the turnout and drag racing was amazing.My wife Pam and I along with Shelby's brother Cody wanted to be included for the 2010 Fall Shootout,we were hooked and shared the same passion Shelby had for his friends and racing.We decided that coming to the track supporting Saul and Ky Horsepower for personal reasons and help with finances just wasn't enough,we wanted to also educate this young audience of the dangers of Depression,loneliness and never seeing the good in life and how these things lead to Su***de. Now with this great purpose in life we formed Shelby's Way a non-profit "Bringing Awareness to Su***de Prevention" inside of Shelby's Way we have two individually and focused programs based on each community ( drag racing the Hot Rod Community and a Industry ) for drag racing, Shelby's Racing for a Purpose and the Hot Rodders,Shelby's Hot Rod Roundup. Our hope is to bring Love,Fellowship,Compassion,Education of Su***de and the warning signs,but mostly Love to join us all in one Community and save lives thru Shelby's Racin' for a Purpose.
