I had a great time with Bobby Unser on Friday PM, we spent a good hour together recalling past events and cars...
Even my wife had a good time and she does not particularly cares for cars... of any kind!

Rick was certainly enjoying himself on that day. His facebook page indicates he is doing some current historics racing, as well as many happy reflections on his contemporary racing as reflected in the photos posted by his friends.
As to the previous ( Tony Settember and Alan Johnson ) photo, I'm going to say "Parnelli Jones and Allen Grant".
