No, a couple of times people have said things like, "I used to have a Jeep and I wheeled with JR Hall. A lot of people around here know him, do you?" In fact, just about 2 weeks ago a dude walked into my restaurant and claimed he used to have a tube buggy with a 660 Merlin big block. He said he saw me wheeling at Grayrock once and that he was with JR Hall and his crowd like that was suppossed ot mean something to me. He could tell it didn't and he was surprised that I didn't know JR Hall. To this day I don't know who the hell they are all talking about but he must be a pretty cool dude to have so many people drop his name like that.
Most of the people who mention him are mud guys so I think JR Hall is some sort of big bad mud racer or something. Probably just cooincidental ...
