"I can only assume Shelby saw all the money SAAC was collecting at it's convention and wanted a piece of the action."

I was told that SAAC received the Miller Motorsports facility in Utah at no cost this past convention. We didn't see any reduction in the registration fees, though. There has been a growing discontent within the long term members of SAAC that will probably now come to a head. If the new Team Shelby provides a superior place for all to gather, SAAC will see a drop in their much-touted membership renewal rate. When you're the only game in town, you can make the rules. When there's an alternative, you are held to a different standard. Competition improves the breed, and I for one am glad those guys have some competition. They've lost touch with the membership.
