Famous-ish GRMers

So I was listening to The Smoking Tire podcast (ep 241 for reference) and they name dropped Keith when he talked about driving the V8 ND. I've also heard the challenge and Hong Norr bought up on the Slipangle podcast as apparently one of the hosts was a part of Team Gutty. I also know that Brad Brownell from Hooniverse and The Cammed and Tubbed podcast posted here years ago. "Mental" Ward was a guest on Cammed and Tubbed and is also writing for TTAC. Are there any other forum/challenge alum that have gone on to become "known" at least within a small circle?

I'm a big wheel down at the cracker factory.

I did Track Champion and Rookie of the Year at the same time!

Very, very small pond.

I won an award this summer from my locomotive OEM. No cash though.

I've won lemons races, chump races, mountain bike races and rc car races.

I'm sure you saw me on espn. The coverage is excellent.

I'm a legend...in my own mind!

Sonic is the brains (Ms. Sonic being the beauty) that has produced some LeMons famous cars such as the Rolls Royce that had a build thread here.

Oh, and Brock Yates Jr. has posted on the One Lap threads.

I've had people name drop you to me in real life. I was all like, "yea, I know Keith" on the internet.

I'm big on my couch.

I'm huge in Japan.

I am the best fabricator at Burrito Industries, which, as you all know, is a multi-national business with sales in the tens of dollars.

I've been in THE (second) MOST IMPORTANT MAGAZINE IN THE WORLD three times. Twice for "Say What" and once for honorable mention for destructions on fixin' a MR2 window button.

I took second place in a bike race at the state games. There were two entries in my class.

I once won 3rd place in a beauty contest.

Sure, it was during a game Monopoly.

I used to show up in Say What before I started killing off the inportant brain cells.

And I have some trophies that aren't just for participation.

And I was on the news once - the statute of limitations has surely run out on inciting a riot charges so I can say it was me, in the front row in the Slayer t-shirt wearing a Reagan mask throwing the tomatoes. I was also underage and drunk. So there.

In reply to EastCoastMojo:

I was in a club in school called "Technology Students of America" and won my age groups CO2 powered dragster competition at regionals by virtue of being the only entry.

I'm so obscure you've probably never heard of me.

but in a lame way, not a "only hipsters think I'm cool" way.

Not true, I subscribe to your youtube channel.

You'd be surprised at how much you can pick up.

I was Machinist of the year in 1980 at the vocational high school I went to. I still use a lot of my tools I won but now I sell hoses and gaskets and I weigh a little more.
