Wow, what a thread....Not getting any work done today!!
SAAC member and Shelby owner since 1992. Hey, for you old guys, I was only 22 when I bought my first Shelby, I could not start much sooner!
I'm just crazy about the original Shelby cars of the '60's; pure and simple.
So far, SAAC has been the best fit for me as far as clubs go. Maybe a little elitist, but I guess once you are in the "circle of trust", you kind of like it.
SAAC preserved the Shelby marque and made a few bucks on the way. So what?
I am very skeptical of a club started by a corporation where the primary purpose is not the operation of the club. We'll see how that works. For now, SAAC is where I'll be. I already registered for the 2008 convention and will participate in the vintage race with my '65 GT350.
Maybe a little competition is what they needed after 30 years. Things may have gotten a little stale and maybe the guys got a little lazy.
So far I am not impressed by the method and form of the communication from SAI. Can you say "spelling and grammar check?"...
