Looks like a tease for Road Atlanta
Yep. Been waiting for this to be public.
Waiting for the details next.
Just a hop, skip, and jump down RT85 8)
Actually looking forward to this one...... :)

Long tow from Toronto. But still worth it!

now that's one long ride, be safe and enjoy
Will it have indoor concours judging?
Quote from: Mikelj5S230 on November 02, 2025, 10:51:46 AMWill it have indoor concours judging?
They could as Road Atlanta has enclosed buildings where cars can be displayed, such as the garage and paddock areas
Now that would be very nice for those of us who are not playing boy racers.

I'm looking forwards to being on the track!

If the above dates are confirmed they match the same venue as the MCA 50th anniversary show. 2 shows in one???

I saw that

Mind blowing at what a combined event would be like.

Yes the MCA has invited SAAC to join in celebration of our 50th Anniversary and their 51st Anniversary. This is something that Curt and I have been discussing for awhile. This should be an excellent event as our 2 organizations have never had a combined event. We are both still hammering out details.
Stay tuned as we hope to have more information very soon.
Thanks

....and.. there you have it.
SAAC returns to the Southeast for one massive celebration of Mustangs and Shelbys.
Three days of Open Track, car shows, Concours judging...and plenty of off track fun.
As said... details to follow as they are solidified.
👍👍
Sweet Mother of Pearl!

Dave
Same dates... we will share the venue and integrate with the common festivities.
Ron,
Very cool, thanks for the clarification.

Excellent, now a choice of where you want to have your car judged.
Quote from: Mikelj5S230 on November 03, 2025, 06:06:57 PMExcellent, now a choice of where you want to have your car judged.
That might not really be an option, as most (not all) SAAC concourse judges also judge the MCA concourse events making the Shelby class a blended combination. Logistics will come in to play for the final verdict.

It is my understanding that the SAAC cars will be integrated in with the MCA cars on the show field for judging. Of course that may change between now and then.

The past 5 or so years, not so much, but it's true that many SAAC and MCA judges have judged with both organizations at some point. The judging rules are similar, with the main differences being that SAAC points are weighted more towards originality and MCA is divided 50/50 for originality and workmanship/condition/cleanliness... and also, SAAC allows fractional deductions.

Mine will be in the street driven class, does that allow for road grime from the 100+ mile trip down to the show field. I promise to have the correct colored convertible top on by then ;)

Mustang Week 24-29 August at ZMax in Charlotte.
Sounds awesome. Looking forward to it.
Does anyone know what hotel is the 'host hotel' for SAAC 51?

It may be too early to ask, but I have a car hauler with living quarters. Will they allow camping in the infield?

Never too early to ask, but too early to answer.
There is infield camping, open on an event-by-event basis. Track sets the rules by contract, and that is not all completed yet.
I will post camping info, hook-ups, etc., when they are in place.

MCA typically has a number of golf carts that constantly distribute pallet Fuls of water at all the nationals . I am sure there will no exception here.
You can rent a golf cart from RD Atlanta. The rentals are at the front gates.
You will need an extra cooler of ice (very available near the track).
The track has good 110 gas. The pumps take credit cards.
It's a world-famous track with reasonable entry lines.
Road Atlanta has a bunch of infield parking as well as ~outfield parking. The Road Atlanta crowd will enjoy all of the cars. I recommend parking outside the track with the showers and bathrooms.
This is not the only car event at Road Atlanta. They have the Petit LeMmans and many other vintage and modern car events.
I'd think most of the Concours will be here.
