Whatsacobra: You are a master pontificator who as mastered stringing thousands of .10 cent words togethter in what could be said on less then two sentences. You apparently aren't a Shakespear fan.
You still haven't referenced any authoritative references, other then yourself, that Mann or Holman was responsible for the SAI's accomplishments I set forth above. Just more pontificating smoke. You apparently believe you know more than the history books and even know what I can or cannot afford and my political leanings. Amazing!
Please cite us published references that Holman was responsible or credited for SAI accomplishments I outlined above. What specifically did Holman do. Did he provide drivers? Did he provide car set up. Please give us the specifics. Please explain. I understand that Mann took over the Cobras in europe but what about the States. Shelby also supplied drivers, Alan Grant and Bob Bondurant who Mann held back and instructed to finish behind British drivers. Shelby's cars won with the help of his drivers. Mann deserves credit too. But it was Shelby that developed the car through inception and provided to tools to get it done.
Plesae enlighten us. I will be glad to admit I was wrong if you and cite the authority. Not a problem. Seriously.
You may think I'm stuck on stupid. I think your stuck on...well...nevermind.....
You find it fair and balanced here. Maybe you should stop pontificating and do more reading here.
Tom: I haven't read Brock's book, however, no other book I have read indicates Holman deserve credit for Shelby's accomplishments I set forth above. As to Mann, see above.
