I went to one of those custom car shows at the Expo center.
Chip Foose was there, so was Gene Winfield.
Foose had a line of 50 people that wanted an autograph.
I stood and talked to Winfield for about a half an hour; I don't think anyone else even knew him. I felt really bad for the guy because he's one of the masters responsible for laying all of the track for all the others. I hope I didn't telegraph my feelings of sadness; I just listened to all his stories of the glory days and thanked him for his time and shook his hand. One of my best days.
