Happy Birthday Mario!!!
Yesterday, February 28, 2010, it was the birthday of one of the greatest legends of the motorsports (perhaps my personal favourite): Mario Andretti...he won everywhere: the two great 500 Miles (Indianapolis and Daytona), a F1 championship, 4 Indycar championships, three 12 Hours of Sebring and a 24 Hours of Daytona, he won a Pikeas Peak...the only race he never won was the 24 Hours of Le Mans (where he finished one time second and one time third)...he has been strong, he won, on any motorized vehicle he raced...he's back on track at the age of 63 to run at 380 kmh: he did this in 2003 when he tested a Dallara-Honda for the Indianapolis 500 instead of the injured Tony Kanaan...he can simply called "a great"...one of the biggest thrills of my life was to be only one meter away from him in 2008 at Indianapolis, and salute him with my hand...I can say I said hello to a legend...

If I could meet any celebrity it would be this guy. Jay Leno would be a close second.
Mario is a truly classy guy who has done it all and seen it all. I would love to have a beer with him and pick his brain. Happy B-Day Mario
