Man, that's sad to hear. I haven't been around any radio/TV today and this is the first I've heard of it. We're losing a ton of people lately that I always looked up to. Of course, I'm crowding 50 myself, so most of my childhood heroes are getting on up there.

St. Peter, better stand back. I'll bet he's heading your way in a GT500...RIP Mr. Shelby.
