My five would be the following, The Lagana's, Gene, Anthony and Vic Terenzio, Frank Manzo, and Bob Newberry.

Plenty of great old racing stories between these guy's

[Sandman]

I'll go with Ken Veney, Frank Hawley, Bob Glidden, Jack Beckman and Tim Wilkerson. I met Veney years ago away from the track when he and his wife toured my work and he's one of the nicest guys I've ever met, period. Same with Glidden, met him at a race and he seemed to be surprised I'd want his autograph. Beckman and Hawley seem like a LOT of fun and Wilk because he's one of my heroes.

 

[Fireball]

Garlits, Connie, Prudhomme, Bernstein and John Force.

 

[Gordon]

Garlits - To hear some of the stories he could tell, even if I've already heard them.
Amato - To learn about his domination w/ Tim Richards.
Beck - Always had a soft spot for the Canuck who tried to run the quad cam.
Bazemore - Do I have to explain?
Greek - Again, do I have to explain?

Bonus: Alan Reinhart (He's made a pass or two down the 1/4 mile, no?) - Need someone to orchestrate the conversations and re-ignite old memories.

Alternates:
Eckman - To hear the truth about nitrous.
W. Johnson - To hear the truth in general.

Eckman has pretty much told all he's gonna tell, including his suicide attempt

[Treeshaker]

I would have:
1. Richard Hartman - member of the original FC 4 second club
2. Rhonda Hartman-Smith - earned NHRA top ten 4 years in TF, top ten of IHRA 5 years, won 3 IHRA national events
3. John Smith - TF and FC driver
4. Paul Smith - Done about everything in a FC, and for a very long time
5. Mike Smith - TF and FC driver

Main reason for all of them is that they are family, and we get the pleasure of being together a lot.
