I found him at the Memorabilia meet.
First of all it cost me $25.00 and then he ended up snapping at me because I asked him to autograph something that I hadn't bought from his booth of goods. I ended up telling him "hey, I am not even your fan- so just sign the stupid book- ok..."
They are not cool to the whole Indy scene that is why the glory escaped them both. ;]
About ten years ago I went to the Long Beach Grand Prix, and Mario was there in the memorabilia trailer and glared at me like I was a street bum when I asked him to autograph a race program. LOL Somehow I think he sensed I wasn't a fan.
I could care less about the Andretti's. I always rooted for Little Al. :)
Ah ya....thats the Auto Ticker tape on the T.V. screen for how many drivers of late.
Front Row Joe Nemechek ..."It wasn't my fault"
Robby [Crash] Gordon...."Every week we have gone to the racetrack, I have been more optimistic than the last.
Whats next Rob.....quotes from the Dalai Lama : )
Both drivers wreck so often...one wonders if their is infact **Bodine DNA somewhere's in the mix.
Some of the aged and patient Nascar drivers who like to hang back in the field before moving up...like Bobby Labonte...Dale Jarret.
No break for them since the Bodines left...nope...now its Crash Gordon and Not my fault Nemechek back there.
Racing comedy is not exculsive to Nascar or Indy.
Nope...you can be black and [Satan looking like]....BMW/Maclaren.... with head case Kimi Raikkonen who gets drunk and face plants in a fountain during media moments.
Or drives his F1 car off the track for 300 yards in the gravel....then flat spots his tire 3-4 times.
Then has it tear his car apart and wreck on the final lap with millions hanging in the balance.
F1 media praised Raikkonen like he was the second coming before the German Grand Prix.
Turns out Kimi wasn't as gifted as they thought : )
In F1 racing there is the former glory gone crowd too.
Schumaker Brothers who do not like each other anymore...
Or...the headcase Juan Pablo [Even a bad driver can win a race]....Montoya
Here's to the head cases....and a DVD burner : )
