4th Annual Colorado Shelby Rally
Presented by Colorado Shelby Rally at City of Cripple Creek, Bennett Ave Cripple Creek, CO
Driven by Passion. United by Shelby. The Shelby Colorado Rally is more than just an annual event—it’s a community built around the love of driving, the beauty of Colorado, and the iconic legacy of Carroll Shelby. What started as a few Shelby owners cruising together quickly turned into something much bigger: a family of enthusiasts, explorers, and friends who come together each year for one unforgettable experience. We’re not a racing club. We’re not about who’s fastest. We’re about the drive—the winding roads, the mountain passes, the roadside diners, and the memories made along the way. If you’ve ever felt the thrill of a Shelby engine echoing through a canyon or caught your breath at a scenic overlook with your car by your side, then you already get it. Each summer, we host our flagship rally—a multi-day, fully mapped journey through Colorado’s most breathtaking routes. It’s our main event, but it’s far from our only one. Throughout the year, you’ll find us meeting up for impromptu drives, casual hangouts, and local events that keep the Shelby spirit alive. This group is for real drivers, real friends, and real stories. Whether you’re in a GT350, GT500, Cobra, Super Snake, or a classic Shelby Mustang, there’s a spot for you in our lineup. We’re here to connect, to cruise, and to carry on a legacy—one epic mile at a time.
