The first owner, Dennis Golembiewski, of Lincoln Park, Mich. purchased the Shelby and started racing it immediately. It was not registered for the street until August 10, 1970. Walter G. Hannig (Warrensville Heights, Ohio) purchased it on November 19, 1970 and was issued a Central Division SCCA log book #24-103. Hannig raced in 1970 at Nelson Ledges (nine times), Cumberland (once), Watkins Glen (twice) and Indianapolis Raceway Park (once). Purchased by Fred L. Retterer (Warren, Ohio) in 1972, he went on to race Nelson Ledges eight times, Summit Point twice and Watkins Glen twice. Retterer raced the Shelby again in 1976, returning to Nelson Ledges five times. It was usually raced with number 33 and had a long, successful racing career. Retterer then stored the car for the next 23 years.
