Any Celebs or Sports Stars ?

[Chris "drooze" Wertman]

Hmmm....maybe my life is different, the Celbs and Racing guys ARE the stars...to me....I grew up and the Racing people WERE the Stars....maybe coming from a Goodyear family and racing being a big part of our lives....but....well..

Garlits, Purdohme, Muldowney, Dont like Force or Kalitta...but they are "Stars" and Celebs in their own right. Outside of Drag Foyt, Andretti, Petty, Eddie Lawson, Santiago Herroro,...etc etc.....

Hmmm....dont know of any baseball, football or basketball stars, who are competent drag racers, might be some, but I also dont know many Drag Racers that can throw 3 pointers or run 100yards dogging an weaving at a pro level.......but they are only stars in their own sport....

Celebs...same thing...I was invited to the Emmys about 2 years ago and I didnt know who was who, I recognized about 4 people by name, Trump because he was in our blacony and stood behind me coming down the red carpet. and like 3 other people...that was it.....My wife (at the time) knew every single one of them.

Guess its all relative , to me the Racing Guys ARE the Stars, and the Celebs....but I dont watch TV so.....they are the people I read about, remeber, and enjoy their exploits.

I know Anthony Bertozzi's brother-in-law is Rob Nen the pitcher.
Roger Keeling's son is now famous.

There's a Loewen in baseball and a Witten in football - don't know if they are related to the racers.
