rumor control--has SAAC lost its use of Shelby name?

Well you know, this reminds me of a couple that for the sake of appearances seems to be happily married. But you don't know what's going on behind closed doors and the next thing you know SAI and SAAC are getting divorced and SAI is engaged to the future young trophy bride TeamShelby...

And not only that, but it's probably going to be a messy divorce. I think Amy can confirm that SAI and SAAC are in litigation right now.

I share Power Surge's reluctance to comment here, beyond wanting to reassure anyone who has ordered a new registry through SAAC that it is on target. The GT40 and Cobra footnotes are at HQ being set, and the various chapters are already in place. Photos of every available car remain to be inserted (a note to anyone who has yet to forward one to : saac@saac.com) You can expect delivery sometime in the next 3-4 months.

There is no litigation that I am aware of. This is a licensing deal.

Yes moderators, I realize who I'm quoting...

But to take the analogy a bit further, if you are both a long time Shelby fan and a long time SAAC member, you might consider yourself a child of that 33 year marriage. And when the messy divorce comes along, some of the children might get fed up with one of the parents and want to have nothing to do that parent anymore. As far as I know most children don't disown their parent(s) over a divorce. But you should expect some anger from the children. And some of that anger might have to do with who gets what afterward and where did the pre-nuptial agreement come from anyway.

And perhaps some of the children don't really need to hear about how the Dolorean or Bricklin divorces turned out, because those stories really won't help with the emotions at hand.

Seriously though most of the 5000 or so SAAC members are probably insulted by this, because it is not just the SAAC board of directors that Shelby is telling to get lost. It seems like he wants us all to dump the club that the thousands of us built in his honor to join the new club he is having built in his own honor.
