2011 NE Regional SAAC Meet

The 2nd Annual Northeast Regional Shelby American Automobile Club Meet was just held this past weekend. Just like the first one, it was a great event.  Dan and his team do a great job putting this event together.  It is already being planned for next year.  We encourage you to attend if you are able.

The event starts with a nice Friday evening social.  Saturday is the road tour, but things don't get started until a great breakfast buffet at the Sheraton Hotel.  The tour stop included a visit to drag racer and former Dragon Snake driver/owner , Bruce Larson's barn houses a great collection of drag racing memorabilia and cars.  The Road Tour concludes at Bill Collins' shop with a super lunch provided by Bill.  Saturday night is the banquet and program at the Sheraton.  The Sunday car show is held at the AACA Museum in Hershey.
