Met? Shook hands with Vic Edelbrock Jr. Way back in 1988 at Laguna Seca for the vintage car race. Came really close to meeting several drivers for the 1987 Indy race there, too. At that time, Laguna Seca would use Air Force enlisted students from the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, CA as additional security, and I was an Air Force Zoomie there studying Korean. I got in to the 1987 Indy Car race, two motorcycle races, and the Vintage Automobile race in 1988 for free. It was a blast. Mr. Edelbrock was very nice.

Met Edelbrock at a scholarship event at Sonoma Raceway. Great guy. He personally funds select individuals education. He has a program in schools in Ohio or PA where the high school kids build race engines. Some become so proficient they are picked up by race teams, I was quite impressed by what he does.
