Several years ago my wife and I were at St Petes for an Indy race and we were standing with a small crowd watching the teams heading to the grid when I spotted Mario walking by. Here's my chance, for a great autograph, which I got from Mario then.

When I got back to where my wife was I told her I always wanted his autograph because I had A.J. Foyt's for some time. One of the guys behind us said to me …"Yeah but you still don't have the Holy Trinity" I knew exactly what he meant, still needed a autograph from Big Al.

I knew then I wasn't likely to get it unless I went to Albuquerque and sat outside his house. (That would have gotten me shot for sure).

PS: It's really hard to spell Albuquerque...…(It's got two Q's in it.) Holy Cow. Same number of letters as Mocking Bird
