I noticed in his picture that he is wearing a shirt with a button-down collar, Steve  8)  Rather unassuming, wouldn't you say?

Jay, I have a couple of those old-school button down collar shirts I could send you for your next Drag Week appearance. Yours for the asking! LOL

I don't know about the rest of you, but I wear a shirt with a button-down collar almost every day. 8)

There's a story between me and 57 Lima Bean (Steve) on this one.  In 2005 at the opening meeting of Drag Week, somebody was taking some videos of the racers and support crew.  It ended up on line.  Everybody in the video was wearing a t-shirt - except me.  I was wearing a shirt with a collar.  Steve saw the video and thought that was incredibly funny.  Then, when the magazine article came out, they referred to me as the "unassuming" Jay Brown.  Steve knows me better than that LOL!  At some point the shirt with the collar and the "unassuming" tag got put together, and Steve has never let me forget it.

I wear a shirt with a collar to work every day.  But I'm afraid I have sworn off collared shirts in the garage, in case Steve should show up some day and see me in one  ;D ;D
