For his 11th birthday last year my son asked to have a LAN party to play Unreal Tournament. I had not set up something like that for a long time.

A lot of great pics Aaron. This one caught my attention. Paul Newman and Tom Ciccone (from Providence) apparently raced this Escort somewhere, sometime. But what I remember about the duo was at Paul's first SCCA driver's school at Thompson in I think it was probably the late sixties or very early seventies. He was registered as PL Newman so nobody knew it was him. Tom was a pretty good SCCA racer and was assigned to be his instructer. I happened to be there that day as a "spectator," even though SCCA driver's schools were technically non-spectator events. Anyway, many years later, couple years ago in fact, I was standing near Tom at a Thompson vintage event. He's in his seventies now and in a wheelchair. His "companion" was a thirty-something bombshell. He was recounting the driver's school story to her and said he had no idea who PL Newman was until they met.
(I remember Paul Newman and his wife that day eating watermelon in the paddock when the day was done).

I've seen P. Neuman a few times at Lime Rock, never talked to him. I understand if you talk like just another driver he's cool, act like a fan .........
