Anyway, saw a photo with him and CDR in a race together and they were wearing the same kit. Incredibly small world.
I saw this and then forgot where I saw it. It wasn't here, actually, it was elsewhere. Anyway I talked with him a bit and he was talking about racing really early on. I didn't realize just how into it he was. Then again, now that I think of it, everyone who raced back then was into it.
Also I had no idea he retired.
