was leaving the walmart parking lot today and noticed a formula1 car out of the corner of my eye. me being who i am i flipped a u turn and went to investigate. there was a few exotic cars there also seemed a little strange all these cars here with maybe 20-30 people walking around. I was looking at a Porsche 911 and walked around the corner and there stood mr.andretti deferentially made my day. I got him to sign my helmet :banana:

I was ready to judge you and your "Greatest Driver" label...

I cannot judge. Cool opportunity. Should have asked if he was willing to adopt.

VERY cool!!!

I met Tommy Kendall at a Ford event where my 2000 Cobra R race car was on display. We spoke for about 45 minutes, and I totally spaced it on having him sign my car!

Glad you got Andretti's signature!

nice, I've always wanted to meet Andretti. Met John Force, Bob Tasca Sr., and Bob Tasca III at a Tasca Ford car show a few years ago, just before Sr. passed. Force was a riot, just as hyper as he always seems on TV, and Tasca III is a really nice guy.
Force's and Tasca III both signed the console cover from my 02 GT.

I thought you had a picture of me.. I was kind of confused before I opened the thread.


I met Andretti at the Maryland Science center about 10 years ago. They had a race car month there and my dad had a nascar there. I got to enjoy a lunch with him and everyone else who brought a car there. Very neat guy! I never got an autograph...I think I was too shy at the time.

cool deal. Did he appear even tinier in person. No disrespect, he just appears small in stature on television
