Every year at Long Beach Grand Prix time, Newman would rent The PAS and bring his drivers out to drive sprint cars. He would as well and even though he was in his 70's, he was pretty quick. One of the last time or the last time, he came off turn two one lap, got wide and climbed the wall on the back straight. The car got into the billboards, bit did not flip and continued on down the track. He brought it straight into the pits to see if anything was bent and went right back out and hammered the throttle again. Pretty amazing person.
