just bust'n ya.
Did he say anything about the car? Was he impressed? Did he show you any deathdefying triats other than taking your woman into his van?

HOOT! Naw, no sex involved...Both Van & 911 pulled into one freeway rest area, Cindy rode with the tuner in the Van, I gave Steve a 911 ride. Traffic was a lot less dense then than it is now...so, some 5th gear running at near redline happened. Cindy later told me of some of the CB chatter from other motorists. Hey, I don't do that anymore! Common sense has entered my life since then...We met back up in another rest area, the one before my exit, Steve Baker jumped back in his van...we wishing him well in Daytona. Last I'd ever seen or heard of the guy, until Cindy did the computer search. FWIW, a snail mail envelope will go out of here soon...a short note & a pic of the 911. Addressed to Steve Baker c/o his motorcyle dealership. Opening line: "Think back, think WAY back....1975..."
Yeah, he liked the car. Impressed? Not with it's speed capabilites, methinks, perhaps it's handling?...I mean, he finished the Daytona race in 2nd place that year...just behind Gene Romero, (?) if memory serves. Naw...it was me who didn't have a clue that night, not Steve Baker... Lube? No death defying traits... other than he did limp as we walked to the 2nd rest area urinals...that's when I got the "I fell off once" line. Fock! Now I learn he was recovering from a broken leg! One tough guy..no doubt.
Jeff? Hey, no problem...you weren't on the planet in 1975...how could you know, right?
