Alright, so that's a bit of a stretch. BUT....
^^ This guy ^^
vv who drives this car vv
is returning to the Classic Motorsports Mitty for 2010.
AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson will be racing his as-yet-unannounced vintage sports car at the 2010 Classic Motorsports Mitty. He's been to the Mitty several times, but missed in 2009 due to the big AC/DC world tour. Look for him in the paddock and/or our big tent on the hill; he's been known to enjoy a tasty beverage at the Moss Pub in the evening.
berkeley_YES.
PS: Is the dude who played last year going to be back? He did a killer job.

Yep, Wes Cobb will be performing two nights this year; Friday during the Mazda Party and Saturday during the Hella "Night into Day" party.
We need to convince Brian to build a Challenge Car. He seems like the type ;)
Loved his interview on Top Gear.

On it. Makes me want to get the exterior of the Rusteevuh done before the Mitty so he can sue me for copyright infringement on the font.

Edit-
I fibbed on the Mustang. I'm told one of his friends owns that car. The "Back in Black" reference was too easy to overlook.
And if you look at the Mustang, you'll notice that it's not exactly the genuine article. Brian is local. I wonder if he would come to the Challenge. He really is a neat guy.
I think he has a Lotus Cortina that he races...
I can't wait to meet him, he seems like a cool guy.
I met Brian and his wife years ago. I don't even know if he still has the wife or the Cortina he was driving. His wife gave me one of his team hats. I still have that. She was super nice. He didn't talk much as he was getting ready to go out for some laps.
I'm pretty sure Brian is racing a sports-racer these days.
I spoke with Wes Cobb today, and he is super excited to be returning to the Mitty. As Tom said, he'll be playing Friday and Sat. night:

Breaking news...
Brian will be in a Royale sports racer. Looks a lot like this one...right down to the AC/DC sticker.
Yep, that looks like Brian. His wife, Brenda, runs a silver Bugeye.
As Clarkson said, "The most famous man...no ones ever heard of."
