- Carroll Shelby (Octane, Oct. 2006)
So using your example, why does he not also endorse ERA, and Kirkham as "being as close to correct and well-built as possible."

Oh, wait, I know why, because he is not getting paid to do so .


Yet, he still, at times, uses Kirkham to build chassis for his own continuation series offerings.

Finally, seeing that he is a "paid spokesman" for SPF, don't you think that he is no longer considered "subjective and fair" on the matter. Perhaps if he was not being paid, then his "expert testimony" would not be subject to such criticism.
