[JayC]

I know the guy wasnt a big deal in Buick-land but he was a performance legend and has a pretty good chili mix.

RIP Carroll

The performance world has lost another legendary icon.

Too bad. He sure had a good run though especially when doctors expected him to die as a youngster due to heart problems.

Sad day indeed. Losing all the legends. Still remember the day I saw Jim Inglese's 427 Cobra coming thru downtown Madison back in the late 70's. Heard it first and then I saw it. Will never forget that. Actually arranged a photo shoot of the Cobra years later for Popular Hot Rodding magazine when I was buds with Steve Reyes the photographer.

Was just at a friend's house Wednesday and he had a signed poster of Shelby for an event that took place at Lime Rock back in 1992. Also has an NHRA banner signed by a bunch of older NHRA drivers and we were going thru them to see who was still with us. Now two days later Shelby is gone.

RIP

He did a lot with a little. Fastest chicken farmer ever! Drive fast and take chances because we all leave the same.

You'll like this if you are a Shelby fan... My favorite are the Daytona coupes that aren't even complete yet!
