Kopek on Shelby's trashing of Pete Brock

[Dangerous Doug]

I seem to recall Shelby (in the Cobra-Ferrari Wars) saying that he consulted Howard who told him to extend the tail out to a point about 8' back and that he (Shelby) felt that it would really ruin the looks of the car.

I think if he had done that, THAT would have been the biggest mistake of his life.

I just really don't understand it. I can't really take sides, as I know Peter but do not know Carroll. What I can say is that Peter is one of the smartest, nicest, most unassuming guys I know. One guy charges money for his signature, the other will crawl under your car to help you fix it. That's the bottom line for me.

Hi Doug,
I certainly agree with your remarks about Peter, I am sure he is hurt by the comment from Carroll. I am sorry that I won't be able to make it to Reno next week - just too much going on.

Take care,
Larry
