SAAC Carolinas 2026 Spring Event

 

Can't you just feel the excitement brewing?  We are but a mere 21 days away from our much anticipated SAAC Carolinas Spring Event!  It is occurring on:

Saturday, May 9th, 2026

at the easily accessible:      Gibson Mill, in Concord, NC.

We will be starting around 8:00 am (though earlier is just fine) and quitting around 2:00 pm. 
It is an excellent opportunity to show the common folk what masterful machines old Carroll Shelby produced during those years of peace, love and drugs.  But seriously, Tom is also holding his regularly scheduled cars and coffee event at the Mill, but since being a member has its privileges, we will be sectioning off an area just for our group.
 
To gain access to the SAAC Carolinas members only section you must know the secret code:

"Ferrari's ass is mine."

For those unfamiliar with where Gibson Mill is, the address is:
         

305 McGill Ave NW, Suite 100, Concord, NC 28027

There is ample room for trailer parking in the rear and as mentioned in the previous email, there are multiple places to satiate your palate when the time is right.  I can't wait to see you there, just stop by 'Scarlett' and say hi. 

 

Also, a friendly reminder for us car guys that can more easily recall the date Ford beat Ferrari at Le Mans than the day we were married, the next day, Sunday May 10th, is Mother's Day.  Don't forget!

I'll be with Tom a couple of days after that, so as much as I'd like to shuffle down there, I have to pass on this one
Besides it would cost me a small fortune in gasoline, 11 MPG in the car with high test, and if I trailer it 6mpg in the truck of regular it would be an 8 hundred mile round trip.
You do the math

Steve, I would've thought you had converted your Hertz to electric by now?

I've prepped 2642 for the 2.5 hour drive up with the top down of course, if the weather holds that is.

Old school. I just took the petronix out and reinstalled points
