[Fot] Paul Newman at Detroit

I still have a great photo of Paul Newman on the Detroit grid with Davy Jone's Super Vee team in 1985.  I was just getting a snap of the cars when he stepped into the frame.

(It's a long story) My son & I left the Hospitality Center at the RenCen and went to the pit area. Newman was by himself on a scooter. Got a great picture, but didnt talk to him. As part of the weekend, I got a private viewing of the new Ferrari being prepared for US Emmission in Farmington Hills. Son Mark also got a great photograph of one of the F-1 drivers. I believe it was Senna. Mark was doing commercial grade photography at the time. Mark also had a great photo op of Miss Detroit at the Hospitality Suite, but chose to act like she wasnt there.... 
My first run in with Paul was at Detroit in 1986. I was trying to get to another location on the corner and had to get around him. I asked him to move and he was very apologetic for being in my way. I then realized who it was.
