Big Thanks to the SDAC Team!
I wanted to drop a quick post to thank Dave, JT, Mary Beth and everyone else that put time and effort into organizing the event. As always, it was very well run and just a great time. Seeing the work that goes into event planning (at my job), I know how much work it is to put something together and am amazed that the SDAC team is able to do this on top of their real world jobs.
Hope everyone made it home safe. See you next year!
Re: Big Thanks to the SDAC Team!
Seconded! Thanks for everything!!! Great time as always.
Re: Big Thanks to the SDAC Team!
Thirded. Really enjoyed the line up for the event. If we can work in a fun run somewhere, it will be the bees knees.
Re: Big Thanks to the SDAC Team!
+1 Pat. #24 was very well organized and executed and IMO the best I've been to :amen: Now don't you have a Rampage to put endless hours into a very short timeframe to work on:D
Re: Big Thanks to the SDAC Team!
Thanks to the team! I had a great time despite my abbreviated stay.
Where is the convention next year?
Re: Big Thanks to the SDAC Team!
Yes it was nice to see some of you guys. Even though I was only there for a few hours.

You've got the bug for SDAC now:eyebrows: Since I made my first one at SDAC17 I've never missed one.
One thing I like about SDAC's (of many:thumb:) is placing a face to the sceenames here, Sgt Craig, who is he? The guy who had 9 people help to change his tire:lol:

I deffinately have the bug now and will probally bring the family next year depending on location.Thanks to everyone that helped changing that tire.I really had a good time and cant wait to see the vids of the pit bike races.Jt's pitbike is slow!
Re: Big Thanks to the SDAC Team!
I would also like to say thanks to everyone involved. I think it was a great location, the audible call on show location was great, it was actually a very nice spot for it. The autox was great, the carting was brutal. Great get together catching up and meeting new people. Just what I have come to like about the whole SDAC experience…

Re: Big Thanks to the SDAC Team!
Glad you all enjoyed it!
Also relieved that "plan b" for the car show went over ok with most of the attendees. Fox Lake is a beautiful venue, but not much one can do when mother nature decided to be PMS-ing and floods the place! Also, glad she shaped up and didn't "rain on our parade" for Monday and Tuesday!
Again, glad to hear the positive feedback! Always worth the work seeing people having a good time!
Re: Big Thanks to the SDAC Team!
Thanks everyone, We had a great time at the event, and despite a few scares from the weather it all worked out. Still balancing our numbers but it looks like we'll be in the black on the event. All our venues had positive things to say about our club and would welcome us back anytime.

We couldn't run one at night, and with our days full it was a challenge to figure out how to include it. My plan was to do a kind of trivia/fun run type of sheet that people would complete throughout the week, so instead of a mapped out rally, you would be looking for things on the way to/from events following the routes in the instructions. Time got away from me and I never got that finished. Hoping that next year we can bring back some type of fun Rally event.
Re: Big Thanks to the SDAC Team!
My 50th B-Day is next year and I'd like to plan on attending (depending on location). Any rumours or rumblings on the location for SDAC 25?
Re: Big Thanks to the SDAC Team!
Damn fine job.
Damn fine.
Re: Big Thanks to the SDAC Team!
Agree with all the above, another great SDAC. Now to follow through with my goal after each, bring a car next year. If New England pans out, then I'll have to, no excuses.
I do think Justin and I should have gotten Road Rally awards, since we were defending champs and all... ;)

Dave that actually crossed my mind as well when we were heading back from one of the events, I think the drags. I saw some sign that was off the road and it reminded me of the questions we typically answer. Maybe for future not have a set fun run, but maybe have it scoped out for places to drive that have twisties and some hills, similar to 20 in MD. That was probably one of the best ones.
Certainly don't mean to take away from this year though. It was awesome to have more time in the lot with everyone and not be rushed for time. This was a great balance of time with friends and the events. I mean, who in their lifetime gets to see the boost barn with the litany of cars and parts? I know 4 of us outside the Chicagoland chapter that did. :D
Re: Big Thanks to the SDAC Team!
Ya, Great job guys! Really had a blast this time, best SDAC for me and the wife by a long shot!!!!!
Re: Big Thanks to the SDAC Team!
Thanks to all the National and Chicago area local chapters hard work to put on another very enjoyable and sucessful event! It was very fun to meet and get reacquainted with our diverse SD brethren. Also nods go out to all the better halves that attended or other friends or family members who were riding shotgun. Good to see all the people willing to help each other out or sharing their area of expertise so others can learn and enjoy these cars even more. Saw that happen over and over throughout the entire event. Venue was about perfect from my point of view. Mother nature threw a changup and the JT's crew saw it coming and had a great contingency plan. Had a great time and look forward to future events.

Re: Big Thanks to the SDAC Team!
I've wanted to go to one for a long time, but have never made it. Maybe next year. Glad everyone had fun! If anyone else in the socal area wants to host one so it could be in the west, I would be willing to put in the time to do what I can to help organize. Don't get to meetings much, but would make the time for them if this were the case.
Re: Big Thanks to the SDAC Team!
Had a great time and the car survived another year.
Great seeing everyone again, can't wait till next year.
