Does anyone have any pix to post of SAAC#3 at Pasadena? 

I am hoping to see a glimpse of my KR (when the PO had it) in the background of a pix sometime.

I have a few stashed somewhere.  I don't remember a KR though.  There was a black and gold 66-gt350 race car that I remember in the hotel and a Pantera, a Cobra, A GT40.  Let me find them.  I do remember a 427 Cobra in the parking garage with bugs all over it from Colorado.  It said SOHC on the plate.  Very cool.

While SAAC has had several conventions in Dearborn, I don't remember actually being at Ford World Headquarters. The Motor City Region has had many events there so I could be wrong about that.
