TC, I go to Barrett Jackson WPB every year, Thurs is my day usually, no lines, no crowds. If you go next year let me know and maybe we can meet up.
Not sure how we got to Richard Petty but here's my story.
While driving home to CT from FL in my 70 Firebird I stopped to check out the Petty Museum (the old one). It was AM of a weekday and I was the only one there. I heard a very loud unusual sounding engine start up and started looking out the windows over at the race shop area to see what it was. Lady in charge of the museum said "That's Richards truck, you're welcome to go out to the driveway and say hi when he goes by and then come back in." So I did.
He was driving a black Dodge pickup with the V-10. Short intros and a couple minute chit chat then he was off. He liked the bird (only car in the lot so he knew it was probably mine). Upon returning to the museum the lady said they modified the truck so it'd be really loud so he could hear it because his hearing was shot from race cars. Had huge 4-5" pipes on it.

That's a great story, John. He seems like he's a nice person in interviews and such.

When I arrive I go straight to the Chevy rides. Hit a cone in the Camaro then went for the hot lap Z-06 ride. Makes my Firebird seem soooo slow! ahahaha
