Wow...this is a first, I agree with most of what Sal said! We have made progress!
Personally, I have always been an enthusiast, guys and cars, car and guys. I tried my darndest to be an organized group back when I had my first Cobra. Since then, we've done the same thing with our wannabee racing, its about having fun.
But throughout, there was always an uneasiness with Carroll Shelby, but I (we?) let him slide because he was...well, Carroll Shelby, the legend. I still remeber catching him and his cronies using SAAC 25 for his personal gain. This was when he was bringing a lawsuit against ERA and he directed his henchmen to take pictures of all the ERAs in Sunday's car show that were using Shelby Cobra emblems on thier Cobras. He was gathering evidence for his impending suit. On that day, a bit of me died and I lost a lot of respect for the man.
So for the latest development against SAAC, I have lost all respect for him. Quite honestly, I do not think he is corrdinating this effort, but I think others in the organization are helping quite a bit (right Amy?). I find it hard to beleive that she was unaware (as she claimed) that this lawsuit was taking shape some time back. But that is just my opinion.
While never a true believer of how SAAC was run, I appreciate and admire all the work that has gone into this club, their devotion is second to none in my mind.
As we move forward, I see two entities evolving, Team Shelby for the new crew of late models.....
... and SAAC, for those who continue to honor the memories and importance in the automotive field, of not just the cars, but the legend of ALL THE PEOPLE involved in making these great cars so important.
