Cool

Good job, MM.

Very revealing, and I must add, that is the story exactly as i remember it.

In case anyone misses my meaning, I have always considered the Cobra to be Shelby's creation, as close to single handed as it can be, and (perhaps because of the foregoing) I have always considered the Cobra to be a star that could glow competitively for a short time only. And I think Shelby knows it. it's part of what makes the whole thing so magical.

I think Shelby sincerely regrets not forseeing how great the Cobra phenominon would become. I think his strongest statement is his regret that some of the less known people who made the Cobra possible have not been given the credit due them. But who would have known?

Regards to all, Art in Baton Rouge.
