With sadness, we report that long-time SAAC member, Dirk Gasterland, has passed away.

Dirk served for many years as the Head Judge for Cobras at SAAC Concours. When the club reorganized in 2008, Dirk served as Treasurer and member of the Board of Directors of SAAC.

Dirk was a good friend of the club, enjoyed his collection of vintage cars and will be missed in the community

I hadn't seen Dirk for a few years but when I did he always had a smile on his face and a kind word. Another one of our Shelby family lost. Condolences to his family and friends.

With the loss of Jeff Burgy and now Dirk Gasterland, SAAC has lost two real stalwart supporters. Very sad for all of us who knew them.
