    Errr...I don't think you actually took that photo, it's quite famous. Or did you?

    I , er, urinated next to him at Lime Rock In the men's room near the left-hander. About 20 years ago. We were both in our driver's suits. I think it was the July 4th SCCA National. No pictures though. I think that would have been crude. :)

    Karen, I'll have to dig through my archives, but I've got a few others somewhere.

    Kind of a funny story about John Paul Jr.: Back in '94 or '95 we were at the Indy 500, and the guy who sat down next to me was wearing a full Nomex racing suit, which seemed a bit odd. After he sat down he pulled out a baggie containing a pit pass medallion and some signed photos of a driver. I asked about it, and he said the photos were of Paul Jr., an acquaintance of his. I asked how they knew one another, and his response was that they were cellmates back in prison!

    Gilles, GREAT story! LMAO!!!

    Karen, Brian is just SUCH a great guy, a great person. I wish more were like him.

    Regarding driver photographs, perhaps this one is relevant in light of today's race...and Montoya's unseemly, girlish, and dead-wrong whining:

    Here are a few more. Laffite in Detroit, '84. Ditto Piquet, but taking a nap! And Jackie Stewart in Montreal '86.

    Took this one some years ago at Zandvoort, The Netherlands, during the Marlboro Masters. Schumacher gave a demo...and it was great! :)

    I have a question: What year was the first picture of Newman from? A lot of nice shots in this thread!

    Notice a lot of parmalat sponsorship....too bad they can't pay back their debt- :) Better use of $ keeping race cars going :)

    I believe I took that one of Newman in 2001 at a Brian Redman Targa 66 meet at roebling. BTW, I asked him if he minded photographers snapping shots & he said, "It is what it is". I crawled away.
