'. . . RACE ON SUNDAY, SELL ON MONDAY.
Monte and Neil Shelton have an incredible racing heritage that began in late 1950's. Monte has raced and beaten some of the most famous names in racing including Dan Gurney, Mario Andretti, Parnelli Jones, Skip Barber, Don Jensen, A.J. Foyt, Bruce McLaren, Paul Newman, Willy T. Ribbs, Steve Saleen, Wally Dallenbach, Scott Pruett, Tommy Kendall, Hershel McGriff, Geoff Brabham, Bobby Rahal and Paul Gentilozzi. He's raced in cities from Riverside to Sonoma, British Columbia to Atlanta, and all points in between. He's driven a McLaren, a Cobra, a Porsche, an Austin and, of course, a Jaguar.
The number of wins Monte has and races Monte has been in are too numerous to list. Perhaps Monte's favorite accomplishment is winning the Portland Rose Cup seven different times. A feat unmatched to this day. Suffice to say that Monte is a legend from his days competing in the old CanAm series, the TransAm series and the SCCA.
Monte's spectacular career was officially recognized with his induction into the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame in 2004. This is one of Monte's greatest honors.
Neil's racing career is just as storied. It began in 1977, when he first took the wheel of a Titan Mark 6 Formula Ford at Portland International Raceway. He's raced against the best including Peter Greg and Scott Pruett, and beat former Champ Car World Series champion, Jimmy Vasser. And, like his father before him, Neil won the 2008 Rose Cup.
If it's a weekend, you can bet that Neil and Monte are somewhere behind the wheel at a race or a road rally.
This amazing racing pedigree gives both Neil and Monte the credibility and experience you need when buying a performance automobile like Jaguar. If you need to know about handling characteristics, engine performance, transmissions and anything else about a car, who better to talk to than guys who not only drive race cars, but work on them as well.
"Race on Sunday, Sell on Monday" has been their mantra and racing will always be a part of Monte Shelton Motor Company . . .'
