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

[amy B]

Guys, Thank you for at least giving me a chance to answer and the fairness you have shown.

Bill S, I responded that way because I am in the middle of this and your first post to me was a shot. How did you expect me to respond? Good people also need to be part of a team, and again, your email to me was accusatory. By the way, Carroll is anything but a "rubber stamper" he come to vegas often, he drives every car we build, he is part of every new project, there is nothing getting built or done without his decision. Board posting is a tough way to communicate, you could have done better, to tell me how talented you are.

To the rest, As a reminder, I did tell BobG about SAAc, The Letters, the correspondance was between licensing and Carroll, I am in the middle because of the new club. The new club was always designed with the cobra 4000, the gt500 and newer cars in mind, but I worded the press release to include eveyone as I never want to exclude anyone. The new club is being done very differently from SAAc, although it will have a registry, as I have all the info on the new cars. This club will except and celebrate all who join. I never assumed or thought I could replace the years of dedicated employees who have kept the registry of vintage vehicles. As SAI, we want to offer more and do more for our buyers and community of members most of which I communicate online with. We think Shelby should offer more. More events,track days,rally's , more magazines , newsletters by email and information. More expose to the company and Carroll. It was never meant to replace any fan sites or organizations.

I have been talking to many people the last 2 days, ultimately it will be Carroll's decision on how this is resolved if at all. I hope this doesn't go 22 pages


Thank you again


Amy
