2026 Convention News
Calling all SACC C-1’s from the East, West, North and
South: “Meet us in St. Louis, Louis
meet us at the SACC 2026 Convention.”
It will be 14-18 June to celebrate the 33rd year of SACC,
the100th Anniversary of Route 66 and the 250th Birthday of
America.
This year’s convention will start immediately following
Blooming Gold (June 11th-13th) at World Wide Technology Raceway
in Madison, IL which happens to be 20 miles or 25 minutes from our hotel.
Full details at
www.bloomingtongold.com.
Those dates are included in the room
discount.
Besides the usual three days for SACC meetings,
technical session(s), and a road tour (to Springfield IL on Route 66 and
return ride along the river), SACC has added an extra day for site seeing.
Of course, the Gateway Arch will be
included, along with a boat ride on the Mississippi River, museums, etc.
A featured tour will be the former Ulysses S. Grant farm, now home to
some of the famous Busch Clydesdale horses.
It includes a behind-the-scenes guided tour of the stables.

The Soccer World Cup is in Kansas City, MO the same
week, which is only 4 hours away and the hotels are expecting to fill up. Since
our hotel is actually on Route 66, it is very popular, especially due to the 100th
anniversary, so please make your reservations early.
There will not be a SACC convention registration fee this
year. However, you will need to register so we have a head count for the limits
of some venues. The bus we have
hired for the Monday site seeing is limited to 54 passengers, so those
registering late will have to provide their own transportation to and parking at
local venues. SACC will create a
waiting list for the bus seats.
Only the first 60 to sign up for the Thursday banquet will be guaranteed a seat.
Again, there will be a wait list. However, there will be plenty of room for the
membership meeting and awards.
We will be staying in an original Route 66 Motel which has
been remodeled. It is located on Route 66 and has ample parking for RVs and
trailers. Room rates are $199 for
Friday and Saturday nights and $179 for Sun-Thursday. If you want a room with a
tub, ask, because most of the rooms only have showers.
