The Autolite tech guy told me to use AR33s, and they have worked fine in my 427 Medium riser. What NGK plugs would you recommend? NGK used to advertise "copper core" which worked better in two stroke motorcycles.

Any thoughts?

Five years is way too short for cars that are being driven a couple times a season on race tracks.

Very sad news.But thank God he was around to capture all that history for us!

Long tow from Toronto. But still worth it!

 Nooooooo!!!!!

Pittsrace was a FABULOUS track! What a shame!

Oh no.

Lisa, Tiff and I just gave her a hug a few days ago! We are so sad to hear this. Please extend our deepest condolences to Kei and his family. She was a legend at SAAC.

How about a bitsa and a kirkham? In a separate class?

Brant, all the best for your retirement. I hope the new owners do nearly as good a job as you have done. Looking forward to seeing you at SAAC  50.. Lisa Kim and Tiffany

This is really sad news. Lisa Tiffany and I would look forward to seeing Jeff every year. He was a tremendous booster of the club and supporter of Shelby American, its cars and people. He personally helped me with my own car on numerous occasions. And he had been at the centre of all our activities since the very beginning, even before SAAC. Please extend our sincere condolences to his family.

Probably really hard to do. It would be up here and it would be harder in California with this case would likely be venued. Shelby American still needs to fight legitimate lawsuits so that their business will succeed. I'm sorry to hear that Ford is not supporting them because they're the only people that are still making the kind of performance cars we like. And teaming up with Team Shelby for conventions is good for everybody.

Rick needs to be allowed to say what he wants to say, the Club and Shelby American need to figure out what's best for both of them to keep this party going as long as we can. I'm sure lots of other people feel the same way.

Unfortunately, even the threat of an unmeritorious lawsuit is very expensive to defend. I can't understand why Ford Motor Company would do something to alienate a group of 5000 enthusiasts who have kept buying Ford products and still say "First On Race Day" to everyone they meet. Let Rick publish his book. No lawsuits please. We're not saving the world, just having tons of fun for 50 years. Shelby isn't alive to tell his version and we shouldn't have to pay lawyers to call the dozens of SAAC members who knew what was going on. Ford will lose much more by trying to squelch the book and now everyone who cares has seen it anyway. It won't hurt their sales one bit.

I want to hear this story. In 1980 he was going to sell me a Hertz GT 350 for $10,000.

Who knew?

Rick and Colleen, coming down from Canada going to SAAC 5 in Dearborn was a life changing event for me. And it's been to most fun every year since.

What a legacy you leave.

Kim and Lisa

Now they need to pass a law allowing stations to pump non-ethanol gas so our fuel pumps and carburetters don't get destroyed.

The way to fit the taller K&N filter element onto the carburetter without hitting the hood is to make a new base plate with a deeper dish and use the standard Stelling and Hellings chrome top.
