Default Shel

He seemed fine and in rare form during the VIR 50th June 8 - 10
It was hot as blazes but he came to the track as well as the dinners.
He did panel talks during lunch with Tom Payne, Dr. Dick Thompson and Chris Economaki.
The stories were some of the best I have heard.
He also sat in my friend Nick Soprano's 450S Maserati that was the sister car to the one he won the 1st race at VIR in in 1957. Carroll signed the dash.
Here's apic of what an 8 mil Maser looks like at speed. Nick is not afraid to drive it. He spun, he put it in the grass, he had a great time.
I would upload a pic if this site would allow more than a pea or if I knew how
