That makes sense, but I do not understand how that applies to current CSX cars. I'm new here, don't even know what brownshirt means (I think owning a FFR qualifies you for this?).

As Turk said, Shelby isn't/wasn't going to be associated with Venture/SAI forever either. Shelby may be legally obligated to still lend his name to SAI even if the company winds up in FFR hands. It would give him a coronary, no doubt, but if Venture owns a controlling interest the best Shelby could do is get FFR to buy him out.

Of course, I'm not privy to the deal between Venture and Shelby, so this is just supposition. Just like the rest of the hundred or so posts this topic has generated. :P
