Visited the impressive Carroll Shelby Heritage Center in Las Vegas.
Needless to say, impressive, particularly the car building area.
One question occurred to me. They have a photo/caption collage of Shelby's early years. It mentions the amature races he won leading up to the 1959 Le Mans victory.
How might Shelby have been rated as a driver if he raced full time? Would he have been a Dan Gurney or Mario Andretti skill level? Had things turned out differently, would he have been successful in Trans-Am?
I don't think I've ever seen a comment regarding this aspect of his life.
