Jim Harbaugh - Got him to sign his rookie card....what a waste that was lmao. Cool guy though.
Paul Newman - Seems to be a nice guy. Only talked to him for a couple min. while passing one another.
Paul Tracy - dude is an ass
Danica Patrick - not very nice after a race so if you ever get the chance talk to her before hand :D.
Frankie Muniz - Dude from Malcom in the middle. Didn't know he raced open wheel cars until he walked through my gate. I just had to say hello just to make sure it was him lmao. He is a pretty cool guy and stuck around shooting the breeze for about 20-30min.. Has some cool ink as well.

Others I have seen but never talked to.

All of the Drivers from Indy Car

I met Ben Affleck and shook his hand. He was doing a USO Christmas thing and visited us on the USS Enterprise during a port call to Bahrain. He's tall and shakes hands like a girl.

I met Michael Waddell and got a picture taken with him while holding a sign that says "Long Live The Deer Camp Boys". Uncomfortably that picture was lost when my old computer crashed.

Then there's Geezer, Milo, Brock, Jimmy, Jack, the slunger video guys, Jesse, Hooter, coonie, COB, Q2XL, and a few other OSTA celebs.

That's actually about it for me. I always seem to be the guy who "just misses" the famous person by 5 minutes or so.

I love it! "Shakes hands like a girl" cracked me up. I am here to tell you, if you think you are a hot snot on a silver platter celebrity and you shake hands like a girl, I think you are more like a cold booger on a paper plate. I don't care how much money these people make, it still doesn't make them anybody. You can tell a lot about someone from a handshake in my opinion. If I pull off a shitty handshake when meeting someone, i always try to make sure to shake their hand again when leaving to make up for it. I hate that. Usually happens when they squeeze before you get your hand into the "official handshake location".

Premature grasp... hate when they do that and you get fingers... feel like a woman "offering my hand to a gentleman."

Ditto. She's also not that hot when she gets bumped off the track and is bitching out Tony Kanaan...kinda sweaty too!

I've been up and close TOO many sport celebs TOO mention but can't recall ever shaking any one of their hands. I did get Manny Sanguien(sp.error fer sur) 1970's Pitt. Pirate catcher TOO autograph a game program once! Of course we've all came across the Outdoor Hunting celebs at the Deer&Turkey show but I don't view them as not that special. I can't recall any up close and personal meetings with anybody in acting.

I forgot I met Lorena Bobbit. I was bar tending a wedding reception and made her a drink. I didn't know who she was until my wife told me.

I also met the 1970's Coca Cola girl too. I popped my cherry in her bed (Hollywood, Ca) with a Korean chick who was her friend.
