SSM crew had a lot of good material shared in coming up with the wall trophy honoring Craig’s contributions to our club / society (& thus annual SSM Most Interesting Man award). Didn’t get to run through most of these during last night's festivities, but figured we could post to the board and have more people chime in…
(Cheesy Latin voice-over)
He drives forward… sideways.
He once experienced a moment of understeer… just to see what it was like.
The sound of his car at WFO, on snow tires, makes crowds cheer (and course-workers run).
His in-car dash-cam faces the passenger, capturing life’s fine line between terror and euphoria.
He cares not how he places, but instead he
lives to entertain the course workers.
He is… the 2009 SASCA Most Interesting Man.”
From Ed Harloe…
"I don’t always drive sideways… but when I do, I prefer a screaming rookie next to me."
(Craig's gave the most ride-alongs in 2009 overall and undoubtedly has hooked more rookies via his ride-alongs than any other club member).
Produced the number 1 rated SASCA YouTube video "Spin Cycle".
Only SASCA car to be in Drift, AutoX, Drag Racing, and Harris Hill events.
More Hello Kitty stickers per liter than any car in Texas.
Only fusion powered MX5 on record. (photo of his car carrying the welder)
On video beating a motorcycle at San Antonio Raceway.
Can organize a fun run / group drive with a single silly grin.
Isn't joking when discussing mechanical considerations for putting turntable floor in a garage.
Took the most interesting picture on the SASCA website. With a cell phone no less.
Produced balls of rubber the size of a baseball with 1.2 liters of displacement. (famous “rubber snowballs” photo after the RX7 burnout elsewhere on this site)
Can turn an EZ-Up into a tropical rain forest with just the stuff found in a Miata trunk.
Makes parts disappear from one friends car and reappear on another friends car.
Accused on another forum of having the fastest NA RX8 for a while.
Never uses the same wheel / tire combination twice.
Able to estimate maximum range of a Ruger LCP if you were to lob the shot.
Led SASCA's only partial license plate number search based on rear bumper impressions.
Happened to have a "spare" hard fuel line around to help a friends SC install project.[/li][/list]
Troy Acosta (in deep, cheesy Latin accent)…
“He coined the phrase… ‘Let’s duct tape it.’”
Had a ton of fun drumming up ideas, and I know opening this up to a broader audience will surely bring more thoughts to add...
