    Photos from SDAC -7

    Rummaging around the storage drive and came across some photos from SDAC-3, and SDAC-7 where Carroll showed up. There are more somewhere and I will share them as I find them. Also more photos from 3, 4, and 6, the other SDACs I attended. Photos also from One Lap at Hearland Park somewhere around here too. My memory is not so good on some of the names, so if you know them, make notes in the comments section and I will update descriptions. Sample below:

    Oh, I know, I know, I know!

    The guy in the straw hat is Carroll Shelby. lol

    The guy at his right elbow is Neil Hannemann.

    As I recall the story, it was Neil's 40th birthday. Carroll was in Detroit on business and he went by Neil's house to wish him a happy birthday. Neil mentioned to Carroll that the Shelby Dodge club was having their annual meet at CTC and they decided to visit us.

    This pic was taken at the Great Lakes Chapter tent where I had been sitting. A well dressed older gentleman walked up and asked if we had a spare chair as Carroll needed to get out of the sun. That was the first I knew he was on the grounds though he had been walking around, shaking hands and autographing cars for a while. Carroll sat there at our tent, signing autographs for folks for almost an hour.

    I had a smile on my face for the rest of the weekend. Good times, indeed.


    Thanks for posting, Lynn.

    Thanks for the background story. I had not heard it. I never thought to have a pic of me with Carroll. I was too busy taking photos.

    There have been some more added from Vegas. Probably more to be found.

    Cool, I am in one of those pics riding in one of the Shelby Lancers ( the middle ) at the Shelby opening in Vegas, thanks for sharing. One of those lancer and it looks like the one on the left also has a Utah plate could be my mom's car

    Re: Photos from SDAC -7

    At the early SDAC events, we used to have a car class which was the best of the best (I don't recall exactly what it was called). There were usually 3 cars in it every year. Bill McPeak's 86 GLHS, Scott Pedrotti's LeBaron, and Rob Still's 92 IROC R/T. Bill is in the group photo with Carroll and other SDAC leaders of the time, he is the guy squatting down in front of Carroll. Scott is in the pic with Carroll where Scott is wearing sunglasses, a Mopar ball cap, and a Mopar Nats shirt. I didn't see Rob in any of the pics.

    When I saw the pic I couldn't at first recall Scott's name, I could only remember that nobody I ever saw at our car shows detailed their car as well as Scott did. It was impossible to find any dirt anywhere on his car. Now he did have it on a trailer to get it to the event, but once there he drove the car all over. At the car show he always had mirrors on the ground under the rocker panels so the underside of the car could be seen. The car was immaculate, inside and out, top to bottom. He won that class often.

    As long as a link back to the original album is included, I am good with that. I put them up to be seen. I have video also that I need to make digital.

    I know some of you know names I do not. Please put them in comments on the photos so I can add them to the description.
