A hypothetical question for the members here - so if Carroll Shelby is going to have no connection with SAAC from this point forward - work with me on this - will you attend a SAAC national convention? I know that's the highlight for me - meeting and talking with The Man - because it ain't the track time. You definitely don't go to a SAAC national for track time. It may be for the cars - but how many concours cars are there anymore? The popular vote car show?. There are many regional shows with as good or better car turnouts. So will events such as the Mid America Shelby Meet in Tulsa every June benefit from this feud? If Carroll is a no show, will anyone attend? Why do you attend? The venue? The swap meet? The banquet? Is it all meaningless without Carroll? Don't flame out on this. I'm serious. I was drawn to the national meets because of the lure of CS. We all may say "fine, let's move on" to all this, but will it ultimately affect the viability of SAAC?
