From everything I have read over the years...... some of which Shelby himself wrote, he was very good at assembling a good team of mechanics, drivers, and support staff and that was the secret to his success. Now it seems that he wants to try to re-write history and make it all about himself. What's worse is he is out there purposely trashing the very people that have greatly contributed to his initial success and those keeping his legend alive for 40+ years.

Instead of being grateful and humble, he is lying and distorting....

Over the years, I have enjoyed meeting Pete Brock, Bob Bondurant, Dan Gurney, Phil Hill, and Carroll Shelby. I have autographs from all but Carroll. For some reason, I never wanted his.....now I know why!!


THIS MAKES ME CHANGE MY WHOLE OPINION OF HIM!!!! GREAT JOB CARROLL.......YOU'RE GOING STRAIGHT TO HELL!!
