Default Re: Any Celebs or Sports Stars ?

Rob Deer, former MLB player with the Brewers and other teams used to race S/St and S/G. He is a hitting coach in the minor leagues and I met him at one of our single-A team's games last year. Nice guy, but we didn't get a chance to talk racing.

Mauri Rose who runs Comp Eliminator is I believe the grandson of the Indy 500 winner with the same name. Not really a celeb, but cool nonetheless.

Didn't Troy Vincent from the Philadelphia Eagles throw a leg over a pro stock bike once or twice? I know he owned a team for a while, but I thought he rode a few times as well.

Steve Goldberg has run a car down the strip at the Norwalk Chrysler Classic a time or two.

We were racing at an IRP bracket race one time, when a group of BMW's and Mercedes rolled in. They were WAY faster than they looked! After one of them lowered the dark tinted windows, I saw that it was Tony Siragusa, then with the Indianapolis Colts. The other rides were also driven by Colts players!
