"Carroll Shelby Speaks Out" Article

[SFfiredog]

People are mad because he has taken away a hero from us all;
That hero is Mr. Shelby himself.
Shelby is the man that facilitated the building of one off the coolest cars to ever see asphalt.
His cars are revered all over the world.
Thousands of replicas have been built because of them.
This website is in exsistance because of them.
In recent years things have come to light that has shattered the "hero status" of ole CS, and all the damage came from CS himself.
People want heros. Fangio, Hill, Miles, Donahue, etc.
Remember what is was like when you found out Santa Claus didn't really land his sleigh on the roof and shimmy down your fireplace, the tooth fairy was actually your parents, or the day you found out that your dad didn't know everything and that he could make a mistake.
You were mad. Pissed off. Disillusioned. It doesn't matter how old you are, you're still mad.
The saddest thing about the CS situation is that it didn't have to happen.
Oh well, maybe I'll go sit on my roof Tuesday night and see if I can catch a glimpse of the man in the red suit.
Happy Holidays,
Mike
