Saw Steve Saleen!

The Deuce · 08-07-2002, 02:08 PM

I was sitting at a light and this gorgeous maroon S281-E 'vert turns onto the street going the other direction. I was on my bike, but stuck in traffic, so I couldn't give chase. There was an older bald guy with a mustache driving the thing, so I kinda figured he wouldn't have raced anyway.

I know Steve lives in the town where I was (which will remain nameless), but didn't really give it a second thought at the time. Well, I hopped on Saleen.com today just for shoots and giggles, and there is the man I saw. I almost fell off my chair.

Next time, I'll hop a curb to get a chance to run him. I'm pretty sure I don't have anything that would be close (bike=win/car=lose), but to say I raced him would be really cool.

Now only if we could get him to cruise Carlsbad with us in September.

And how much do you want to bet that his Saleen isn't stock!

I don't think the chances of him being stock is very good at all

Cool!!! i met him at the L.A. Street Races (an event near USC) a couple years ago. He and Tim Allen were together at a Saleen display there. Seemed nice!

Take care,
