There are quite a few SAAC members here. Some public, some just lurk. Some of the members here are highly regarded SAAC folks, like Nedsel, the SAAC Registrar for the 427 Cobras and some are just long term members; like me. Having said that, there have been public rumors for quite some time over a 'rift' of some sort but NOBODY has ever produced evidence. As Shelby has proven over and over he is not afraid to voice his opinion and IF there were a rift I am sure he would speak out and rip who he thought responsible: SAAC, Kopec, Eber, etc...
My gut tells me it's all a load of BS, because CS appears at a ton of SAAC events even if he does miss the Nationals. It really smacks of another wagon to jump on along with the charity brouhaha (read the WHOLE article and see CS's side). And 'lawyers involved' usually means public filings..that have NEVER been linked ANYWHERE. At his age and with his health concerns..especially his immune system around large gatherings..I am amazed he comes out as much as he does. Maybe he has gotten tired of people slipping him crap to sign at Nationals (AC stuff seems to piss him off) or maybe the other events pay more. We all KNOW that CS can chase a dollar until George Washington changes color!
