Was just wondering if all the SAAC conventions were filmed from the very beginning till now  ?  Are they available  anywhere ?

98SVT - was 06GT

Not commercially. Probably some old 8mm exists of the early ones. Home video & digital cameras didn't exist yet. I've got slides from #1. I remember a panorama photo at one of the early ones where people ran from the starting end to the far end so they showed up twice in the picture.

I was at SAAC 25 (Lime Rock 2000) they had that guy and his camera there, he did photos of the years/types of cars as they were parked in groups around the track.  My car was in the '67 Shelby group. 

The earlier one was SAAC 7 Great Gorge NJ 1982 that one was all Shelby's gathered with some Cobra's in front. 

I have framed color prints of both events.  The prints are about 53 x 9.5 inches.

there are some vhs tapes out there  ......i have a few of them but cannot remember which convention they were from likely before 16 ..  fun to watch and people spot
Some where some one is driving their collector car for the last time but they don't know it . Drive your car every time like it could be the last memory of it .

   The first time SAAC was at the Brickyard, I recall somebody in front of me with a camera filming our group going down the back straight.  I asked back then if anybody had some film to share in a Snakebite bulletin.  Alas, no reply.
