I agree that it is unfortunate that politics rear their ugly face so often, however you would be hard pressed to not at least partially understand SAI standpoint. SPF's coupe and Pete Brock's involvement in the mind of Shelby is obviously offensive and clearly personal as can be construed by Carroll's comments regarding the "other" counterfeiters. Yes, it was a slap in the face but one that to me just continues to deteriorate the reputation of Shelby and his holdings. Let's face it - in the vast majority of cases the views, values and beliefs of the leader is embraced by the fellow associates of most groups - period.

In the end it is Carroll's loss. His inability to see the big picture, which I find interesting because in my humble opinion the reason we drive these cars today is FOR his ability to see that which he is now losing - and it is quite evident.

Money & bitterness is not worth it but with the current Shelby mentality - it is ensured to last into the next generation of twisted minds at SAI!

I am now getting off my soap-box and ready to take the anti-counterfeiter heat.
