Default I met a racing icon for christmas

Well to add to the list I was at a friend of the families house in palos verde estates. Well this person is business partners with Parnelli Jones, the first guy to take first place in nascar, indy 500, then the baja 500. He is a race icon. Well I got to meet him and his wife. They such cool people I was star struck.
