Hidden heroes show was one of THE best motorsports programs ever.
And Steve Evans was THE MAN for interviews.
My best remembrance (and 15 seconds of fame - sort of) was Steve Evans doing a David vs. Goliath between-rounds pit interview as we serviced our funny car prior to the finals against The Champ. He was knelt down in front of the car, talking into the microphone, I was under the engine servicing the bottom end. I have a habit of hooking my toes together into the A arms for leverage while cranking the torque wrench to 135lbs so didn't give it much thought...
Next day I call back home and my mom, all happy, says "I saw you on TV". Huh? "Well your shoes". I had written on the soles, in yellow paint marker, HI MOM, and that was what Diamond P & Steve Evans had filmed.
Of course that's why it was there. Nobody knows me but everybody loves their mom.
