As Rick Kopec pointed out in his rebuttal there was no way the car underwent 15,000 miles of testing by Ken Miles or any other number of drivers before it's first race. The timeline from the first track test to the it's first race simply doesn't allow enough time for such extensive testing. Shelbys statement of 15,000 miles for testing is at best an exageration and at worst an out right lie. Given the circumstances of the comment and the timing, Shelby, in my opinion was lieing. Intentional and knowingly false to discredit Peter Brock. No gray area here, it's black and white and disgusting all over.

Just makes me sick to hear that.
