I almost never ask for autos, sometimes a handshake, and the "big fan" comment. I think they appreciate the subtle hello.

Sidenote- where I did ask for a ton of autos, was at Nazareth Speedway in PA circa 1988-1994. my dad & I used to get pit passes for the IndyCar races, and got sigs of pretty much every top driver...Andretti, Foyt, Mears, Fittipaldi, Rahal, Unser, etc, etc...fun times.

At The Milwaukee Mile - Robin Yount on a couple 3000 hit related items and Walter Payton on a magazine cover at Road America. Both were great guys to talk too. I also met and received autographs from racing greats Roger Ward and Parnelli Jones, a couple names that go way back. I was also around Sylvestor Stallone while he filmed a cheesy racing movie ( no autographs).
