SAAC Forum

shelbydoug....I am sure this statement will ring true for you.  "A fact is a statement that can be proven true or false. An opinion is an expression of a person's feelings that cannot be proven. Opinions can be based on facts or emotions and sometimes they are meant to deliberately mislead others. Therefore, it is important to be aware of the author's purpose and choice of language."

shelbydoug......sorry if you got you feelings hurt and thought I was picking on you.  Seems to me you will carry on with your opinions and comments regardless.

The Forum is an adjunct to SAAC.  It is not SAAC.  It is a tool--in the broad history of SAAC, a recently devised tool.  The core of SAAC are the cars and the history that surrounds them.

shelbydoug......your influence is over estimated.

Kopec has nothing to be ashamed of, nor should he have to participate in this thread.

Your conclusions are reserved only for you.

The Forum is not SAAC.

Keith, I understand and have recently reviewed many of his previous posts (on many topics).

I also understand the lack of information (and leadership) creates chaos.  And I regret the system and the information it contained is gone. But this Forum is not the center of the universe (although it seems it may be for some).  All this hand wringing and 'whoa is me' is not going to change it.

The Forum is an adjunct to SAAC.  It is not SAAC.  It never will be.  The core of this organization are the cars and the history that surrounds them.  Not the Forum.  Period.

If we could refocus our collective angst to that core (buy and read all three Registrys, for example), a significant portion of the topics discussed on the forum would disappear. 

shelbydoug.......not sure how you translated that out of context statement as a resignation....but Rick has been acting only as Editor of The Shelby American for many years...why are you 'crying wolf' as to no 'official spokesperson' now?   Nothing has changed---seems you like to 'stir the pot'. 

I am wondering....how many participants in this thread have read the most recent 'The Shelby American" Spring 2018 magazine??  If you haven't, why   Are you a dues paying member of SAAC or just a SAAC Forum participant  ??  Up to this point, no one has quoted or referenced this thoughtful article.

The first article in 'The Mail SAAC' is germane to this thread's topic.  Pages 1-5 of the magazine.  The Op Ed piece is entitled 'Food for Thought'.  Although it does not answer many of the questions asked here, it does indicate at least Rick is aware of the need for a plan for the organizations future.  Although Rick is not any longer the official spokesman of the club, his bully pulpit is the magazine.  I believe this article was written to provide food for thought to the leadership of the club as well as the membership.

I sincerely hope each participant in this discussion will take the time to read this now....not wait until the magazine comes out next year in printed form...........time is not on our side.

+1...why are we having this discussion  ??

I respectfully suggest those who are unhappy or wringing their hands in anticipation of the organizations future, apply for asylum at Team Shelby, Mid America, MCA , POCA or Corvette club...........

Regarding the pick up roof rack speakers................I dont have any direct knowledge of this photo....but if I were to speculate...this photo was taken at Laguna Seca when the hot pits were on the outside of the track (tell tale ice plant  ??).....if so, there was a fence line which ran on the outside of the paddock---buried cable was hidden in the sand on the fence line.  ...and speakers with poles were used or the public address system..........
