Was just wondering if all the SAAC conventions were filmed from the very beginning till now ? Are they available anywhere ?
Not commercially. Probably some old 8mm exists of the early ones. Home video & digital cameras didn't exist yet. I've got slides from #1. I remember a panorama photo at one of the early ones where people ran from the starting end to the far end so they showed up twice in the picture.
I was at SAAC 25 (Lime Rock 2000) they had that guy and his camera there, he did photos of the years/types of cars as they were parked in groups around the track. My car was in the '67 Shelby group.
The earlier one was SAAC 7 Great Gorge NJ 1982 that one was all Shelby's gathered with some Cobra's in front.
I have framed color prints of both events. The prints are about 53 x 9.5 inches.
Ok. Thanks. Ill check youtube maybe some are there..
there are some vhs tapes out there ......i have a few of them but cannot remember which convention they were from likely before 16 .. fun to watch and people spot
The first time SAAC was at the Brickyard, I recall somebody in front of me with a camera filming our group going down the back straight. I asked back then if anybody had some film to share in a Snakebite bulletin. Alas, no reply.
