Good to know Ron. You too. B safe.
No one anticipated the sadistic nature of this virus. I am on my third infection right now. First in Dec through Feb . Major hit before it was "known". Second hit first week of March lasted about two weeks and now this hit finishing up a two week hit and it should be gone in a few more days. "I" thought once I had it , I would be immune. Boy was I wrong. The relapses are NOWHERE near as severe as the initial so the antibody IS working , but it really struggling to fight off the virus. "To me" the key is wearing a mask to stop the spread.Dangggg Randy hang in there and hope you get feeling better soon.

........ "To me" the key is wearing a mask to stop the spread.Sorry for the illness Randy. I didn't know you could recatch it either. But thank you for your wise advice ref wearing masks. Seems like a simple thing to me but so many people seem to have difficulty with the idea.

Any chance of SAAC 45 being re-scheduled to later in the year ?
Nothing personal and not directed at anyone, but .....
It’s time for the annual “Where should we have the next convention?” thread....one of my favorites (insert sarcasm font here)
Please respond with the facility/track closest to your home. 😎
My vote is a track that does not cost as much to rent. So we do not have to share with SVRA. Wanting more track time.
What about Nashville Super Speedway ???
Not much happening there since they lost their truck date ........ somewhat central location, lots of infrastructure at a reasonable cost.

This place looks interesting. It's in EBF, but I believe there is lodging within a reasonable distance. The homepage opening photo looks promising. 8)
Fontana is fun but too expensive, but Sonoma with Nor-Cal is the best. Plus I do not have to travel for day to get there! 8)

You mean you can walk to it from Honolulu or the catamaran goes right to it? ::)
have it at watkins glen at the vintege race in sept its a no brainer
It is typically is hinged on the vintage racing group and where they are having their event so that we can reduce cost for the track. It hasn't been stand alone SAAC for some years now because of rising track costs etc. Our venerable chairmen of the board has a in with those guys to keep us in consideration . ;) They don't have to have us but we need them unless we want to have prohibitivly higher event fee's. At least that is my take on the situation . Someone update me if I am off base.
I would agree, especially if the bulk of the prep work was already in place prior to cancellation, would make Indy an obvious choice. But who knows ???
Bob, if you don't know or don't care to reveal, I fully understand.Sorry,I am not privy to that info.
My totally respectful question: Have recent SAAC conventions had enough entrants/spectators to cover the expenses?
I sincerely hope the club is making money on the events. My question is not based in anything but curiosity, and forward-looking thoughts about the future of club events.

Track expenses are the big ticket item. I can correlate, as I have run, priced, and set up track days. Three days at a major facility is $50 - 75K plus with all the extras. If SAAC was to shrink down to a one-day event at a lesser track, such as NJMP, NOLA, Autobahn, Willow, or other club-style tracks, they could probably do so solo, but it requires a major re-think of the convention. And pricing.Why leave out searching for the Jersey Devil in the Pine Barrens ? That would be Ed Meyers preferred hunt. ;D
The Bosses like a name track, and Bob did identify on who's coattails we ride. It is felt that we'll attract more going to a famous place.
Me personally, I don't care, as long as the track is fun. Why not just have a one-day track frenzy, and spend another day with the car shows at the host hotel location, and maybe other fun social things? Heck, I've been asking for years at the Jersey Shore, one day at NJMP, car show on the boardwalk the second day, and one day in the Pine Barrens hunting for Jimmy Hoffa or other Soprano's victims......
Lime Rock or Watkins Glen please! ;D
