Okay Ron, if you know something pertinent to this thread or my post, put it out there so we can all determine for ourselves what happened between SPF and Shelby. Speculation is the natural course when the "facts" aren't in evidence or readily available.... and yes, I was (and still am) speculating at this point.....

I'll stand by my prior comments that it might be better to deal with CS up front via royalty or consent than wait for him to come calling. SPF seems far better off for having forged an alliance with CS than fighting him. Just my opinion.

Some people advocate the same thought process with Hamas, Chavez, Iran, Castro, Ohio State Buckeyes, etc.

The SPF arrangement demonstrates that Shelby is not out to "crush" replica manufacturers or drive them out of business. It suggests that he wants to be paid a royalty for what he thinks is his. The SPF settlement also sets a post-FFR lawsuit precedent that could play a factor in the settlement of the present lawsuit.

Business is a bit different than global politics. An argument can be made that FFR's money would be better spent on an alliance with Shelby for the Daytona than wasting it on a lawsuit. Clearly most FFR owners see that as a deal with the devil. CS has clearly set a precedent that he has a boner for certain replica makers with a penchant for suing. You can go hide in the corner and hope he doesn't find you, or wait for him to show up. At least Chavez is content staying home. For now.

Ron, I read through that link, thanks for sharing. Apart from some picking of nits with who was / wasn't a party to appeal of what / whether I don't see what the point of it was as it relates to this matter. You're nuts to even be posting about this and I can't believe you stand anything to gain but questions about things you obviously don't / can't talk about. Or, feel free to share...

"As far as our contractual arrangement with the Shelby organization is concerned, as a private (Inc) company it is nobody's business but our own why we enter into strategic alliances with any company. We use our own resources, not those of other shareholders."
