    Steeltoe What's my move?

    Met Hopper at Daytona after warmup he stopped for a photo, shook my hand chatted a bit. Met Nicky there too and he wouldn't even break stride. And Hopper was the guy working that weekend. Says it all for this fan.

    Another cool one is Zemke. Years back I took Sam to VIR and we saw Jake walking through the pits all sorts of tore up. Bandaged, bleeding and limping. I said to Sam who was a fan of his "Nah, leave him alone, he's hurt pretty bad".
    Jake heard us whispering, turned on his heels and came over to us and introduced himself to us. Smiled for photos (even though he was bleeding and in pain) and hung for a good 5 minutes.

    Hella nice dude!

    Spot on about Zemke. The wife and I met him at Road America this year along with Hayes. They were chatting it up, and I mentioned that "that's Melissa's husband and that's the guy that rides for Micheal Jordan's team". They heard me and asked if we wanted to take some pictures. Pretty cool dudes in my book.

    cNYnCArvr A little bit of this...

    Hell yeah, I ran into Vince at a hole in the wall pub back in NY 9yrs ago. My buddy and I were the only ones in the place, being a quiet wednesday night, and Vince and his little entourage came in. Vince was drinking PBR all night and kept my buddy in the loop for every shot of bourbon had. Singing Johny Cash and some other country stuff for about 2hrs. I think I even bought him a round, PBR 2 for $1, lol.

    Another star story was me slamming a door closed in Chris Noth's and his original Law and order partner Adrian something another' face when him and some guys were trying to get into the bar I was working in 30 minutes after we closed. my quote after them claiming to know the owner and be there all the time "guys I work here 4 nights a week and have never seen your faces across the bar however, I do love you both on Law and Order but unless you are going to my class tomorrow morning I don't give a F*@& who you are!!"

    I got a wave and acknowledgment from Hopper at Cal speedway last year when he was testing out the GSXR during a fastrack event. And here is a quick pic I got in a quick chat with Edwards at Laguna in 2007.

    You have to ask Edwards to stop talking. Guy is hilarious.
