Well...I don't know what to say here...the class for the car I have been working on for a number of years to develop and race Nationally with the SCCA has just been eliminated from National Competition. To be more accurate the entire GT-Lite class has been combined with F/Production with downgrade modifications. According to the SCCA as of January 2025 the GT-Lite class is now a Regional Only race group.

The Shelby American Automobile Club and Team Shelby Northeast held a joint Shelby Convention, SAAC-49, on July 25th-27th with its unofficial kickoff party on Wednesday night August 24th at The Brass Tap in Vineland, NJ.

On Thursday, as participants gathered for the first round of activities, there were two options, a track day at New Jersey Motorsports Park in Milleville, NJ or a poker run to key focal points throughout the New Jersey area. The day concluded with dinner at the Flanders Hotel in Ocean City, NJ.

Friday featured a second day of on track activities at NJMP that concluded with two one half hour paced on track parade laps giving every Shelby participant an opportunity to witness NJMP’s Thunderbolt circuit firsthand. At the end of the track session, a procession of Shelbys travelled east to the Simeone Foundaton Automotive Museum (www.simeonemuseum.org) in Philadelphia for a special presentation about Carroll Shelby by the Glory Days of Racing author and photographer Harry Hurst. Following the presentation the Shelby participants were treated to a running demonstration of the CSX2287, often referred to as the Daytona Coupe Cobra designed by Peter Brock and built by the Shelby team. This video is delivered by museum director Kevin Kelly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLwbkxmKAxc .

A further description of the significance of the CSX2287 is discussed in this presentation by Peter Brock in this video https://simeonemuseum.org/video/historic-vehicle-association-this-car-matters-1964-shelby-daytona-cobra-coupe/.

In January 2014 the CSX2287 became the first vehicle added to the Historic Vehicle Association's National Historic Vehicle Register in the United States. It became the first automobile to be recorded under the United States Secretary of the Interior Standards for Heritage Documentation, which is kept on file in the Library of Congress. In November 2014, the CSX2287 won the International Historic Motoring Awards "Car of the Year", which is voted on by the public. In addition to being the first American car to win the award, the Cobra Daytona Coupe is also the first American car to be nominated for this award.

After the driving demonstration of the CSX2287 Daytona Coupe the Shelby club was given photo opportunities of the historical machine and Aaron Shelby, Carroll Shelby’s Grandson. Friday wrapped up with a dinner at Savoy Inn in Vineland, NJ.

Saturday featured a Popular Vote and judged Car Show at NJMP and wrapped up in the early afternoon with an awards presentation. What an amazing array of Shelby and Ford powered vehicles. Cobras, Cobra Daytona Coupes, Shelby Mustangs, a Ford Powered Triumph TR-6, Sunbeam Tigers, Ford Trucks, a Ford Fiesta, and several Cougars. What an incredible event!

The Saturday Aug 3rd BCTRA (Baltimore County Trail Riders Association) Outdoor event at Timonium, MD met with tenuous weather and riders ready to race. Despite some early rain the club manicured the track beautifully, making a wonderful dust free, hard packed, smooth, consistent surface. The scheduled start was bumped up in an attempt to counter Mother Nature. The heats featured some fantastic dicing. The sun showed up and all was looking good, and just as the event was gaining momentum, the skies let loose with a drenching rain, and the event had to be stopped. Next weekend, Saturday August 10th will wrap up the three race series when the gates open at 4:30 pm featuring an AMA District 6/7 Reunion, and quoting their Facebook post, BCTRA Presents D6/D7 Reunion. Join us at the Timonium Flat Tracks for a D6/D7 Reunion and Racing! Food, drinks, beer, racing, and friends!!
We will have an "antique show" set up displaying trophies, number plates, leathers, photos, etc. of the sport over the years.
If you show an old district card at the entrance, you will get in for $10.

See their page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/1575344565895240/posts/7400839436679028/?_rdr

A great opportunity to meet current and previous competitors that make District 6/7 known for its great riders.
