2008 SCOA Indiana Reunion PICS!

Just got back from a LONG weekend at the Indiana SAAC Shelby Spring Fling, where the SCOA held it annual Indiana Reunion - which really isn't an Indiana reunion when you figure there are Saleens from IL, OH, KY, TN, MI, and WI

As usual, it was a FANTASTIC weekend. The forecast was sketchy, but Mother Nature apparently being a Mustang enthusiast kept it partly sunny and dry during all the schduled events during the 3 day weekend. This event attracts Mustangs of all varieties, as well as Tigers, Panteras, GT's and a PLETHORA of Shelbys. Seems like there are usually 30-40 Shelby's to oogle at, well this year there were a shade under 100 [sm=insomnia.gif] That is correct, about 50 early gen Shelbys were on hand and damn near 50 more S197 GT's and GT-500's!!

This year the SCOA took over the Club Participation award that has long been dominated by a regional MCA affiliate. We had ~20 vehicles, but even more club members (some weren't able to bring their Saleens). Quite an honor indeed for a club that is just into its 5th year [sm=bounceybounce.gif]

The two highlights of the event were Marc Allen allowing a few lucky folks the opportunity to climb in and take 1986 #19R for a few hot laps around the park (this is the first race car that went to victory lane) The other was when 1993 #51 (1 of only 5 in Calypso Green) came strolling in to hang with us for a little bit on Saleen Row in front of the cabins.

I could go on and on, but I think I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. You might want to grab a beer and sit back and relax.....seriously.....there are only 146 pics to enjoy

Was that a Cobra motor in the light blue fastback with gold stripes? Blown too!

I noticed that one too, Jazz [8D]

Jason, now since school is out, I will be attending events. And once this damn payment on paypal clears I'll sign up for the club

Yep - that was a brand new car from the ground up, built by a company called FlashBacks. Couldn't get a good pic, but on the back it said FLASHBACKacross the decklid in the typical Mustang font. Its a new Dynacor body, a new 5.4L SVT crate motor, and not sure who did the custom frame, suspension and interior.....but that car was SICK!!!!! I THINK it won Peoples Choice for Best of Show.

This car was also at SEMA this year if anybody recognizes it from the show or from pics....or from the magazines its been featured in. The company had two cars there....one was obviously a ground up build, and the other was a true Mustang restoration.
