Default Carrol Shelby's passing

Carrol Shelby was a automotive icon who's accomplishments have been well documented. He had the vision to build a car that would become a classic over 50 years later and start an industry that even Carrol could not imagine would grow to the extent that it has. All of us who supply the parts and enjoy the car owe a great debt of gratitude to Carrol Shelby. We were very lucky that we lived in the same era as Carrol Shelby and witnessed the growth of the car and saw a man who was a chicken farmer in Texas grow to be one of the most respected men in automotive history. He was a true racer and he will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and close friends.
