I do not understand what is wrong with letting people that worked for you or with have credit where credit is due. From what I have seen over the years everything has to be about Shelby till there is a problem and then it is someones elses fault.
I to have met Pete Brock and seemed like a very nice man and was kind enough to share the story of the coupe with us at the Kirkham gathering this last year. With the GT40 coming from Ford Shelby pretty much gave up the Coupe for bigger better things. I found out that a team in England won the Championship with the car and not Shelby. I bet that has not been told by him and I thought Shelby had won it all this time. The way Pete talked Shelby wanted nothing to do with the car anyway. Now that there are replicas being done he is all about it. Same **** different day. It never ends does it.
