This isn't exactly Porsche related, so I thought I would throw this in OT and see if it drummed up any discussion! For those that didn't know, Shelby did race a couple of Porsches in his early days as a driver around the beginning of the 1950s (as most did).
Ol' Shel accomplished a lot more that most people remember, or give him credit for. While I know his reputation has been tarnished as of late due to some...Legal action...I contend that it is mostly his lawyers pulling the old man's puppet strings. Look at him with fresh eyes and decide for yourself. Can YOU think of anyone who accomplished more and started with less? Shelby (In the interest of full disclosure, I wrote this article. If you like it, please link it elsewhere!) |
