Default Rocky....need I say more?

What can you say about this guy....he came into the sport full of enthusiasm, and was a racer and sponsor, and brought it to a whole new level in marketing.

Mr. Benihana!!!!

If you go on the HORBA site ....and find Rocky.....there is a link to a recent interview that New York Magazine did on Rocky....very interesting stuff....only Rocky could get into that kind of adventure.

Wow that Bertram shot is great. Rocky should write his autobiography. That would make an interesting read...............
