Good one.
I was at a race one weekend and he came darting past me in a huge hurry trying to get into this restricted area where the transports were and the 19 year-old security guard in in the three sizes two big blazer stopped him dead in his tracks and demanded his credentials. I was impressed that he didn't give him the old "do yo know who I am?!!"
Instead he threw everything out of his pockets trying to find the pass that wasn't in his lanyard apparently. He found it and ran down the road like he was in an F1 car again.
I started laughing and asked the kid if he knew who that was. He looked at me blankly when I said "Mario Andretti the last American F1 World Champion".
