Sounds very familiar, but my hunting grounds were Michigan International Speedway and the Detroit Grand Prix in the early to late 90's. I had a photographers pass at the Detroit GP for 4 years with all the access included. That's where Walter Payton signed a poster for me on a pretty relaxed Friday morning one year. I remember thinking he looked pretty thin and he was kind of quiet. Most Indy drivers at team owners are pretty approachable, even these days. The only guy that would never sign and would sneak out the back way in all my years of seeing him at races was Paul Newman.
