It is all so unfortunate. This is a time we all should be really enjoying! Shelby and some great men accomplished so much in a very short time. The Cobra, Daytona, and GT40 conquered the international racing world in a very “romantic” period of racing history before computers and wind tunnels. The cars of this era are revered for their accomplishments on the track and their grace and beauty away from it. As these great men reach their golden years the Shelby community (including the SAAC) should have the opportunity to look back and reminisce about the times, the cars, and the men who made them great. Instead, we have “the man” tearing the community apart and dismissing the great accomplishments of a man like Peter Brock.
