1. ate across from the ENTIRE hayden family in one of the back rooms at olive garden. and i mean the ENTIRE family... nicky, tommy, roger lee, mother, and the patriarch earl...!!! 
2. later, also ate across from evil knievel who came in and was also seated across from us in this back dining room. i didn't even know it was him. not to be funny and with all due respect, but i honestly thought he had passed a few years ago...?
3. bumped into, introduced myself, and shook the hand of the great KENNY ROBERTS SENIOR over by the honda rig.
4. almost knocked over nicky hayden while i was shuffling tires as he (unbenounced to me) scurried around at my back looking for one of his rims in the goodyear garage.
5. chatted with al ludington
6. chatted with rich oliver
7. met dave wilkins the U.K. tire engineer who designed and brought to fruition the 207gp, gp star, and subsequently the 208, tire designs.
8. took a photo with mladin and got an autograph (prior to his crash).
9. got an autograph and chatted with yates (prior to winning the 600 race) telling him that he was my pick for the 600 title this year and for the race at daytona... and that all's he had to do was "hang it out" during the last few laps exactly like he did during road america last year and he's sure to win. by the time the competition (hacking, nicky, bostrom, duhamel, etc. etc.) figures out how to respond to what's goin' on with their "burnt up tires" it'll be all over with. LOL and be damned if that wasn't exacly what he did...!!!
10. fondled honda's V5 grandprix bike...!!! LOL
11. fondled rossi's championship winning 500 NSR.
12. learned that stock R6 wheels w/ rotors are oddly heavy as crap relative to everyone else's and therefore, no one riding an R6 has a chance of winning the 600 title. sorry gobert and buckmaster fans.
13. realized that after standing toe to toe with almost every successful racer both old and new... that a person doesn't stand a chance of competing successfully in motorcycle racing unless they possess the gene for "dwarfism". LOL
14. and last, but not least... waved hi to the great freddie spencer...!!!
