Give you a hint...

Seems like I've met that guy who rode with Carroll at Indy.  I think he has a KR and a Kirkham, and loves 427s.

Pretty cool to be in there...  8)

Does that become part of your "15 seconds of fame"? ???

Mark and Tony...Yes part of the 15 seconds!   ;D ;D ;D

Thankfully, I'm not the guy in the photo Tony posted, nor in the description. Nor is Cameron Vanderwhatever my name.  ;)
