Accepting that reasoning would include ANY club of ANY nature. Elvis fan clubs? What are they paying for the use of the name to the family? Book clubs? The list goes on and on. Club Cobra? Kit car manufacturers? Oh wait, we all ready covered that base, Shelby lost, kit car manufacturers don't owe him a dime. Complain all you want about it, it's a done deal. Why? Because he walked away from his Cobra legacy the shape/design passed into public domain. Think of it as an expired patent if you would, things aren't forever.

There are paralells here with the current suit(s). Did he abandon a 'registry' he never had anything to do with in the first place? What gives him the right, legal or moral to, in my opinion, steal the hard work of the SAAC owners, their 'Club'? Frankly, I don't believe he is entitled to the SAAC registry, under any circumstances, period. He wants to start his own, fine, go for it. While there was a 'contract' is it still binding after being ignored for so many years? These are some of the legal questions that will be answered, no matter what the final rulings no way both sides are gonna be happy with the resolution.
