not personally - I have been a fan of Sr. for many years and consequently a fan of Jr.s. The closest I have come to 'knowing' him was knowing someone who worked in RCR's engine shop - built/worked on the motor that was in Sr.s car the day he died.
Well, doggone. Wouldn't it be fun if he had time to come in here and shoot the breeze with us all? We would never let him leave. LOL!
