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

While some have been in denial about this law suit, and it has been brought to our attention several times in this thread, with this latest post, there can now be no doubt.

I have always been a Shelby supporter, but forced to take a stand, and that clearly seems to be the case here, I will support SAAC. To wit, there is no way in hell I would join the 'new' Shelby Club.

Amy, with great respect I must say, I hope you are blushing over this dastardly deed of greed.

I haven't really commented on this subject as of yet, but I would like to comment now....

I do not belong to SAAC, and I have not joined Team Shelby. I never joined SAAC solely out of laziness, because you can't join online. I was planning to do so in the near future. I was also planning to join Team Shelby. I really did not feel any alliance to either one. I am an enthusiast for the cars. I want to be part of something that joins other enthusiasts together.

After reading that legal letter from Shelby to SAAC, I must say that I am very dissapointed to see it. Honestly, it sends the message to people that Shelby really does not care about the owners/enthusiasts. If Shelby really cared about the people, they would work WITH SAAC to keep everything going, rather than to try to kill SAAC off for Shelby's own benefit.

And I can understand that this may be a business decision, but I think this decision is going to backfire on Shelby. I would gaurantee that you'll have WAY more people NOT join Team Shelby because of what they are doing to SAAC, than you will have members join.

I would have supported both entities no problem. Now, I am not so sure.

Ex, it has nothing to do with greed, I have spent a lot of $$ starting and building team shelby, it has nothing to do with any of this. Where do you see greed? Carroll gets his brand back and we move on. Also, for the record, I think the public statements were out of line. There are issues and hurt feelings and partnership problems, but the evil line was wrong he deserves more respect, even at a basic respect level, that was uncalled for. I was also surprised that Neils second formal letter was posted, but not the first, Nor has saac ever responded to Carroll or Neil his lawyer on any letter, including ones from CS licensing. but they post a call to action. . The fact is, all facts are not here. And many will not be put here untill resolved.

Carroll wants his brand run by people he feels will do it the way he wants with his input, he has that right. It will be what it will be and all will be judged accordingly.
