SAAC-33 Trip Report
SAAC-33 Aug. 15-17, 2008 Thunderbolt, NJ Motorsports Park, Millville NJ
Well, SAAC-33 is in the books... and many have rated it one of the best national meets in recent memory.
Going into the summer months, there were the dark concerns over the fact that the new facility may not be finished in time, and the SAAC-Shelby legal issues would dampen the fun. But the Octane-Gods smiled on us with a weekend of spectacular weather, a track that delivered all that was needed and an eleventh-hour settlement that made a renewed SAAC and Shelby relationship put fun back into the hobby.
All were cause for celebration.
NJ Motorsports Park is about a three-hour drive from NYC, so we left Thursday, after traffic, and got in early afternoon.
(sorry for the delay in posting on this event... 4-days off and we came back to a ton of problems at work...)
I will post an assortment of images to try and give a good flavor for the event. I had a new toy, a little Flip, that records video...so I also will post a few clips of some of the scenery and the action.
