I did not want to be a geek so I did not pester him with many questions. I did not find out what he did. I also saw him at the Austin airport for the trip back. I congratulated him for a successful race. He watched the race from Grandstand 12, the same one we were in.
A story from a friend is that my buddy is an engineer, and attended some conference. At dinner one evening he sat down and at the table and everyone introduced themselves. Two of the men said the were in engine design at Honda. They did not know each other. Everyone assumed Honda cars. Come to find out, one was working on the Honda Jet, and the other in the Honda motorcycle division.
