Many local businesses
enjoyed support during their normal "shoulder season" through purchases by event participants of gas, food, lodging, gifts, and services. All supplies and
services for the event were purchased in and around the Big Bend community.
Many, many local residents came out and enjoyed free time with event participants and their awesome Shelby cars. The Alpine car
show at The Stable was offered free to the community as was observation of all speed events at the
