Saleen Club of America

Midwest REGIONALS 2006
On Friday, everyone was greeted with a Welcome BBQ at the Overlook Park on the Ohio River and a cruise for Ice Cream.  As always this provided the perfect opportunity to relax and catch up with all of our Saleen friends. 

Saturday started with the car show.  20 Saleen Mustangs were on hand along with  few very nice Mustangs.  The focus this year was on the SC's and once again we were treated to a very special display put on by Stu & Patti Akers, along with Ken McDowell and Larry Hill (all the way from North Carolina!). 

This included 4 of the only 13 Saleen SC cars built in 1990, and 3 of the only 5 done in red!  Even more impressive was Stu's complete restoration of black #18 that literally had its finishing touches put on Thursday night!  Click here for more photos

 
Following the group dinner at Rocky's Italian Grill, the go-cart event was scrapped in favor of a relaxing evening by the pool.  Another great opportunity to share stories and toss a few back!
 
Sundays Road Rallye went off without a hitch, well unless you consider yours truly "quitting" a hitch!  The course was tough, but everyone else managed to finish about 20 minutes over on time.  There were ten cars that ventured out on the scenic route, and unfortunately for the SCOA members the local Falls City Mustangs group whipped up on us!  
 
After lunch a few of us took the liberty to sneak into an old abandoned warehouse to take some pictures.  With the sunlight bleeding in and some puddles on the ground, this provided the perfect setting for some great pictures!  Check out my online slideshow
 
From there it was time to pack up and hit the road - another Midwest Regionals weekend in the books.  I would personally like to thank Charlie & Sandy Smith for all of their work in hosting another successful event.  Thanks also to all of you that made it out!  This is one of the events Tracy & I will look forward to for years to come!
 
Help spread the word over the next 12 months.  The Saleen Club of America is all about Saleens, Friendships & Fun - and we only have room to grow!  See you next year.

Jason Smith, Central Region Director
