SAAC 34 AUGUST 6 - 7 - 8, 2009
« on: July 24, 2009, 08:19:38 PM »
AUGUST 6 - 7 - 8, 2009

Beaverun Motorsports Complex
Wampum, PA

SAAC-34 will be held at Beaverun Motorsports Complex in Wampum, PA, northwest of Pittsburgh and about 12 miles east of the Ohio state line. It’s a fairly new track, 1.6 miles in length with 12 turns and some moderate elevation changes. The convention headquarters hotel will be in Cranberry Township,
PA—about 1/2 hr. from the track. Surrounding hotels are all about 5 minutes away from the HQ Hotel.

Just a side note, the concours cars will be at the convention hotel and not the track like previous years (at least that the plan now)

Thanks Jeff, It just may get a little boring at the track with out the show cars. Hopfully next year it can get back to having every thing in one spot again.

Yes IMHO its a shame that the owners come so far to show the cars and the display has been reduced to 4 hrs at the hotel. Not sure if I'm going out to the track after the show as they have planned. May just hang around the host hotel.

Have seen cars go around and around before ;)

I think the "car show" judging is referring to the popular vote show and shine. I certainly hope the concours cars are alotted more than 3 hours. As of now there are 7 68s so it looks like another all day event for us. Should have some real nice cars this year though.

Thanks Bob - only knew what was in print

Jake I don't know - teams will be assembled and organized at the Judges meeting by the Head Judges. Unlike other shows SAAC often has a fair number of judges that show up year after year since there is only one big show.

68s and Boss 9 categories are full but if you didn't get your car in in time bring it anyway.
