So it is yet another attempted re-write of history. The bad thing is many people, myself included had I not found this site last year, will read that and take it for the truth. Shelby is the man after all. His accomplishments speak for themselves, so why would he need to make it up? Sooner or later all these magazines will have to print the other side of the story. I would bet that he will claim failing memory/getting things confused if/when it ever comes to light that what he is spewing is false. I find it sad that in the end, his legacy will be that he was more of a snake than his car's namesake.
