A great gentleman
Parked beside him at the dutch one year
He spent a lot of time talking to us like we were long lost friends
Glad he is doing well...

He stopped by Hebert's pit at Indy a few years ago. Said he had just returned from a trip to Hawaii. Still looked the same. He doesn't seem to age

Mr. Baptiste is the first reason my brother and I fell in love with AH! We still talk about watching him row the gears in his Cuda at MG! Never met him personally but would love to see that car again go down the quarter mile. Glad to hear he's doing well and the car is still alive

George is alive and well my buddy Justin Lopes is friends with his nephew
First time I met George I told him Man you are trying to brake that car from the water box to the finish line. He just laughed He’s got great stories

Does anyone know the history on that car? Who owned it before him?
