I formerly thought Shelby raced at Corvette or two in Louisiana,but today on a Corvette
site they say ihe raced at Cumberland (isn't that in Maryland?)
Here's the picture of the ol' Snakemeister standing by a black Corvette

somewhere else on the site is a pic captioned that Shelby is driving a '56 or '57 white Corvette but the picture is so blurry you can hardly see the car.
In the background of the first picture is a red SR2 Corvette. I thought the tall fin SR2 was Bill Mitchell's own car so was surprised it was sold to Ebb Rose, Shelby's sponsor in the Corvettes, but maybe it was Jerry Earl's (son of Harley Earl) low fin car updated to a tall fin. Anyhow if you count
red SR2
white roadster
black roadster
that makes three but I had in a list of Shelby's races that he raced only two Corvettes--a SR-1 from Sebring and an SR2. But since the guy who posted the picture was there in person I will defer to him--ain't nuthin' like an eyewitness.....
