Given the chance the Brothers Kirkham would give the Shelby company all the missing business components lacking for years (read:ever) under the old regime. This is of course, JMHO.

SAI has spent far too much time trading on its name, resting on its laurels and relying upon its legal team to periodically go out and squeeze a few bucks from someone infringing on Shelby intellectual property. While there are no doubt some very good people there, the organization certainly has the potential to be so much more than it has been.

Perhaps purging a couple of VPs is the shake-up it needed, or perhaps it's in a death spiral that will only end when it's in the hands of someone who can reach in and do something with the untapped potential.

Just my $0.02...
