Wanna play the "I've met...." game, how about this, I have raced against 3 generations of Andretti's and they were all kind enough to whip my ass. I have met Roger Penske, Warren and Kurt Johnson, ate lunch with Eddie and Ercy Hill once, talked about racing with Kenny Schrader, I am on a first name basis with the 3 winningest drivers in DIRT modified history, got the dime tour of Pat Musi's first stacker trailer only days after he bought it, I have met all 3 Wallace brothers(Kenny the Herminator is by far the most fun), I hung out with Justin Wilson, Graham Rahal, AJ Almendinger, and a bunch of other cool cats at the Rolex 24, and best of all hung out with the JS Performance crew at Pinks All Out and drank all their booze..........and the list goes on and on.

All of the people I met make me exactly one thing, lucky. I have been graced in life to meet a lot of the heroes of the sport I love. All of the meetings by no means make my opinion better or worse than yours of anyone elses.

My opinion of Carrol Shelby was formed just like yours, with an outside view of the situation. Maybe I just lay more weight on all of the ****** stuff he has done, especially since he got older. Either way, it is still an opinion.
