Gary is fantastic, and will always bend over backward to help how ever he can, but having seen how much is already on his plate (not that he ever complains - and if you have ever met Gary, you know he always has a smile and a good word - which is one of the main reasons I kept my sanity with all that I have been through with my car) and, although he is a great driver, I think he already has more than enough to take care of.

Have I met him? 
Me thinks Gary can decide whether he's got the time, and how often.

Yeah, I know you have met him.  That part of the comment was more aimed at the general audience who might not have had the pleasure.

Amy:
With the challenges in finding a copy of SHELBY, is there a way to subscribe for the next edition of the magazine ? I got my copy, either the only one or the last, at Border's, after trying a few Barnes & Noble stores. Since then I did not see the Magazine again, looked in Wal-Mart, CT grocery stores, other Border's / B & N etc etc
Noticed the " Display Until February 5, 2008 " and the notation Shelby 2007 Annual.
Future plans for publication are ?
..........thanks

Having the title "Director of Fun" burdens him with the responsibility of testing and reporting on the latest Shelby rides.

Yes, I'm bored.

zMax vs FTC, http://www.zmax.com/ftc.html:
ZMax can continue to make the claims it has made in the past regarding it's product, pretty much what Shelby says here. A. J. Foyt is also a spokesperson for the product.
Shelby:
Quote:
|
"I've built over 100 different kinds of cars… Shelby Cobra, over 20,000 Shelby Mustang, the Viper…at 77, I wanted to see if I could build another good automobile like the Cobra. I call the car the Series One. We're putting zMAX in each and every one that leave the factory. It penetrates the metal, decreases the friction, cleans the carbon residue out of the engine. Therefore it gives you a more efficient engine and a lot more durability. I've got my reputation to protect and I wouldn't recommend zMAX unless I knew it worked."
|
So whats the big deal? Myself, I like STP, others don't, use what you like, or not.

That's funny. I didn't realize there was a dispute. I just like the commercials because when a man puts his name on the line and "means it" - well that means something to me. |

Here's a summary. SAAC has no comment because they are apparently in ligation. Amy apparently does not have much to say on the SAAC Shelby license thing because licensing is handled out of a different Shelby company.
Since neither side is saying anything, this thread has become a place to discuss other subjects with Amy, like Team Shelby.  |

LOL, As far as I know there is no litigation, Shelby licensing is moving on and we SAI is moving forward with Team Shelby. We will have some more updates on the club soon.
On the Zmax question, yes, Carroll does like the stuff and we support it. It's been tested and really seems to work well. |

He uses it, He likes it, he does the commercials for free, zmax also sent us cases of the stuff, that we put in the trunks of some of the cars we build. we randomly did this, since they were gifts to us, we made them gifts.

A couple other side notes about Zmax. One of the owners of the company (Zmax) is none other than Bruton Smith (one of the Fortune 400 richest men) who also owns Speedway Motorsports. Las Vegas Motor Speedway (see where this is going) is owned by Speedway Motorsports. The industrial complex in Las Vegas housing SAI is also owned by Mr. Smith.
So free commercials maybe, just adding a bit of information.
Oh ya, Zmax. Shelby's engine shop sent it out for lab testing and evaluation. It's mainly parafin, no problem with that it's just been used for years before in other products of this nature. |
