That was when they raced on foot for the cameras. Dan also ordered a cheeseburger and fries to be delivered to the car while waiting out the rain delay, as a goof. He was a really classy and friendly guy!

Amato and possibly Shirley tried those injectors for a short time. Who the hell is Tara Lapinksi?

Dan Pastorini now lives around Brenham or Hempstead. John McClain of the Houston Chronicle did a video interview with him a year or so ago in his blog.

He has one or two SCCA cars and does road racing these days.

FYI, did you know that another Houston local Johnny White originally had the Coors Light deal for his Nitro FC?

but, that didn't work out....

When I was in 6th or 7th grade we did this thing in art class, where one day you would paint a piece of paper with a bunch of different watercolors and then color over it with black crayon. You would scrath off the black crayon in whatever image you want and underneath would be rainbow watercolors.

ANYWHO ... I did mine with Pastorini's Coors Light digger pointing one way and Kenny Bernstein's Budweiser batmobile flopper pointing the other. I thought it was pretty good, however, school authorities were non-plussed that I had chosen beer sponsors to cover the cars in my drawings. I tried to explain to the authorities that those were real race cars and real depictions of said cars, but I still got into trouble and was not allowed to keep my "art" and got a "F" on that assignment.

Forgot to mention ... it was a Catholic school and the authorities were Nuns ...

Draw a car with beer sponsors and you will be reprimanded.... now, assault young boys in the choir, and we won't say a word!!

Fricken Catholic Church (I am Catholic too by the way) is a hypocrisy!

Not to mention both of our priests in the parish were world class drunks. I was an altar boy (imagine that) in 6th, 7th and 8th grade and they would let us altar boys finish the wine after every service and they would open a new bottle of wine for the next service ... by the 1PM Sunday service ... all of us altar boys were hammered!!!

wow...we went from talking Dan Pastorini to trashing the Catholic church...

does that really have a place here?
