Teen Week.
Teen Week.
So I was 13 years old.
Won the first two rounds of the Smurfs.
I knew who the Smurfs were.
Okay, good.
Wild Bill Hickok.
I need to rely on Wikipedia to tell me who Wild Bill Hickok was.
But I got the spelling right, and won.
And you do what you do as 13 years old, and you look immediately at what's the most expensive thing I can buy.
How much money are we talking about here?
$3,050, I think it was.
That's not an insignificant sum of money.
And went to the top of the list, which happened to be his and her watches, which kind of, as it came out of my mouth, was...
What does a 13-year-old want with some very nice Cartier watches?
Wow.
Then went back to the Long Beach Grand Prix in 1987 with my buddy in high school.
Met Mario Ingeretti.
And I was very intimidated.
Now I wanted to kind of get into racing.
