I guess a little OT here, but I had three or four Shelby meetings over the years and he was pretty damn cordial. The first was at LRP at the last SAAC meet there. My brothers and I were up way too early and in the paddock and lo and behold up comes a white town car I think, and it's Carroll Shelby driving around early morning. He stopped and we talked for a few minutes and he moved on. It was pretty cool. He signed a hat of mine at the fall Auburn auction a few years ago-no charge. Another time he posed for a few pics in CSX3002 with a friends of mine who brought the car to the SACC meet in Nashville. So first hand, he's always been friendly where I've crossed his path.
My support is with SAAC. I would like them to continue what they have done and maybe with this wake up call improve and update the club, website, services etc. I will say that Pardee and Matthews have always been there with rapid fire answers for me when I have called or written.
I'll be at SAAC-33 with my '65 ready to race. I may be at the tail
, but I'll be out there!!!
