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.

Does anyone know what hotel is the 'host hotel' for SAAC 51?

Not yet

 Not by a long shot  -)

The SAAC Board of Directors announces that David Maffucci has resigned from his position, effective January 19, 2026.

David's decision comes as a result of increasing demands within his private business, which now require his full and undivided attention. While his daily presence will be missed, the Board respects his need to prioritize these professional and personal commitments.

During his tenure, David has been a cornerstone of the SAAC's operations. His contributions include:

• Serving as the Manager of SAAC's Sweepstakes.
• Acting as the key supervisor for our National Convention Registration.
• Managing various day-to-day administrative and technical tasks at SAAC Headquarters.

David has worked diligently over the past years to ensure the success of our primary events and internal operations. His efforts will be missed, and we wish him the very best in his future business endeavors.

Many MCA members also own Shelbys and are also SAAC members.  How is that going to play out with entry fees either with the members car, or without.

We are aware of that dilemma. We are actively working to achieve a fair admission with parity, based on club affiliation. Not done yet, but we'll keep you posted.

Please welcome Robert Malke as our latest SAAC rep in Florida

When will registration open for 51? Thanks

We are still working out logistics and venue details

I would estimate that we will have a Registration site open by mid February.

It will be announced, same day as ready, here on the Forum, SAAC HQ Facebook page and SAAC Instagram.

Thanks
Ron
