I got to spend a few hours with him at his house back in 2005 (and a quick 'hi' at SAAC31). His wife was recovering at home after a bad car accident, but he still spent some time with an out-of-town visitor talking cars, planes, and racing. He showed me the Daytona certification of his official speed that was hanging in his hallway and gave me one of his t-shirts and a bit of rubber from the original slick he set the 198mph Daytona lap with. He then took me to a local speed shop and introduced me to some of the guys there.
Fantastically friendly guy - I can't say that I knew him, but I wish I did.
There will be a Corvette engine joining in with the noise on Saturday night. He beat enough of them in competition - I think it's fitting that at least one gives him some revs in respect.
The rest of the pics I took that afternoon can be seen here:
