Fast and Furious..Terlingua Style

Most of the time things don't move too fast in Terlingua.  People walk slow, talk slow, drink slow, and live slow.  That's what they like.  It's part of the culture and the desert.  All of that changes for one weekend a year when the Shelby Mustangs come to town.   Mr. Mustang was the original Carroll Shelby.   The man who started it all.  As it turned out he used to own about 240,000 acres in the Terlingua area that is now Terlingua Ranch.  Well, Mr. Mustang is gone now but his legacy still remains.  He started this weekend and now it brings a little speed to the desert.   It's a little scary to stand on the closed highway next to the "ambulance" and feel these machines run by.  190 MPH is the record.  It felt like it as they crested the hill and blew by.   Now to "stangs" are gone and all is quiet again.  Sitting in the sun now waiting for something to happen...rain?  Nah...
