Sure did lay a whuppin on the poor Eagles, for a bunch of girls! Out $67m man played pretty well, so I guess britney Spears didn't keep him out too late. The best game was the afternoon on CBS...Pats/Colts. Can the Pats be stopped??????????

Now we can go back on topic, HOPEFULLY everyone has simmered down a bit!
I carefully worded that comment to De rail this thread!! apparently it worked as good as the Cowboys plan of attack against the Eagles! Trevor LeGate summed it up nicely. I am SAAC,You are SAAC. it is not just one or two guys that Own or organize things. we believe in the basic beliefs and principles that the club was founded on. Has SAAC not stayed up with the times in some respects people wonder? I believe so. but the Respected benefits the registry they have maintained for 30 plus years and provide for owners of Original Cars, far outweighs a more modern interactive Web site or whatever else people feel they are lacking at this point. I have never seen a SAAC publication that bad mouthed Carroll Shelby. as a matter of fact, every news letter or Magazine they put out does nothing but Glamorize his accomplishments be they past or present. when is the last time Carroll Shelby returned the acknowledgement? SAAC can and will survive with or without Carroll Shelby's "Official" endorsement. think of the annual $aving$ on INK expenses by not having to Type his name several times on every page of a Newsletter or Registry let alone pictures of him in his Glory days?? I believe that Upon Carroll's ultimate Passing on His memory will only fade that much quicker from History when he is no longer recognized or even talked about by his Number One Fan Club. a Club that is a sure bet to keep His Legacy alive if he reconsiders things at this point. and while "TEAM SHELBY" sounds great on Paper and conversation, the risk factor in an unproven Company sponsored fan base to carry your Name and Legacy into the future is a Heckuva Gamble. Remember Carroll, it was the things you did in the past that got you into the present. SAAC remembers those days. "TEAM SHELBY" is dedicated towards the 4.6 and 5.4 Liter Powered crowd. to them, you are better known for attending Auctions, than winning races. To both sides, I say this: We the People are Suffering from your failure to communicate! without us, You Both will Suffer. Whoever takes the high road here will win the publics heart. Tempers need to settle down. Issues need to be addressed. Attitudes and presumptions must be checked at the door. And remember, Do Not attempt to make folks in this Hobby take Sides one way or the other!! It could Blow up in your Face no matter how long you have been Building or Registering these cars. Remember the old line we all learned as Children, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but WORDS will never hurt me!" think about what the "Lack of Words" may do to you instead!
