Phil Hill (1961 World Driving Champion, 3x Le Mans winner, 3X Sebring winner, Can Am winner, etc.) showed up at an AROSC Christmas event around 1980, brought his 6C 1750GS, spoke for +/- 30 minutes, answered tons of questions, signed autographs, innumerable photo opps, etc. Price: a bottle of vino rosso.
