Thanks Pete for that story. Love it. One of my favorite stories in the cross cultural racing category involves Jackie Stewart.

Are you at all familiar with American Sprint Cars (1200 pounds with 850 horsepower) and Midgets? On both dirt and asphalt the action is continual and fast and sideways......makes for great racing all the time. Mo Nunn went up to Eldora a few years ago during the USGP week and was completely gassed but the best line came from Jackie Stewart back in his prime. Taken to a Sprint Car race at Winchester (I think), all the drivers wanted to meet him. He'd been watching the first few heats and was being shown around the pits shaking hands. One of the guys asked him if he'd like to try one out. Stewart replied that he'd left his helmet back in Indy. When someone offered him a helmet he cranked out a great line......."No thanks, I left me balls there as well."
