My favorite Russell story (other than when he got protested at Nats and bumped from first to I think 3rd for "timing out of spec"... it was RETARDED a little too far) was when he showed up at an autocross with his Mom's VW Passat TDI because his car was out of commission. He bolted on his wheels and R tires from his Golf and set second fastest time of the day in that car!
