To get that enthusiasm going again, Mike, Roger was driving and I was in the passenger seat in heavy traffic on the Laguna Seca access road, during one MOnterey Historics meet. A rent-a-cop stepped out in front of us and held us up for a "dignitary" in a Rolls-Royce.
Roger mumbled something obscene, but as the Roller pulled up next to my open window, it was Jay Leno driving! He stopped and leaned out to look at the white Pantera, and said, "Man, that thing sounds bitchin'! Webers?"
I replied back, "Naw, big-ass EFI and a cam, Jay"
He gave us a thumbs-up as he idled on by. Roger turned to me with a big smile and said, 'How 'bout that! Jay Leno likes my car!"
This was several years before Jay bought his own Pantera (black, also out of Nor-Cal). If you ever see him at Monterey, remind him it still sounds bitchin'!
