Saw him at RA, must have been the early '90s, (?) as guest of honor at the Chicago Historic races. Talk about seeing HISTORY! :eek: I guess awestruck would describe my attitude. He was being driven through the paddock in a golf cart checking out the historic cars...that MAY have been quite familiar to him! Good times.:thumbup: My first year of serious racing interest was 1958, his last F-1 title was '57...and I finally got to see the legend 30+ years later! And NO, I'm nowhere NEAR 84! :)
