Following the rev salute, an hour long memorial to Shelby will commence at 7:00PM (US time) at the Petersen Museum. The memorial will be broadcast live via a free webcast. Pre-ceremony video coverage will begin at 6 p.m. PDT (11:00AM Australian East Coast) and the memorial will start at approximately 7 p.m. (12 Noon Australian East Coast).

"We rallied Shelby enthusiasts from Team Shelby, Shelby American Automobile Club, Shelby Dodge Automobile Club and Mustang Club of America regions globally to gather in honor of our hero and friend, Carroll Shelby," said John Luft, president of Shelby American. "The 'Rev your Engine' salute will be heard around the world and include a ceremonial waving of the checkered flag in honor of Carroll's astonishing career".

Make sure your battery's charged, there's a bit of juice in the tank and give your Shelby a bootful this morning. We're sure Carroll would approve!
