[shelby racer]

While I would NEVER claim to know Carroll Shelby personally even though I have met and talked with him a few times, having talked with some of the people who used to work for him in the day, they all seem to still like him. I don't know if he started the Donkey Fund, but I have heard that he has been the MAJOR contributor to it. His business practices may seem less than kind at times but who has not gotten frustrated and gotten a wild hair. I have also HEARD stories regarding some of his less than above board practices, but what I know is all hear say so I feel that I should neither defend nor defame the man. I have a feeling that this fight is going to turn out like my knife fighting instructor describes a knife fight - "winners ooze and loser gush".
