I can...almost...
Back in the day I was pretty good. At the 1999 NORRCA California State Road Course Championship, I TQ'ed over Barry and Dave Jun by over 3 seconds. Barry and I have always been good buds, and he's given me some advice that helped me quite a bit back then. That day, though, he came over and congratulated me but followed that up (jokingly) with a 'I'm gonna beat you to the first corner'. I told him to bring it...I was ready.
Well, start of the tone and Barry did beat me to the first corner and proceeded to blast me out of the way and into the outside wall. LOL I dropped to 6th or 7th, but managed a 2nd place overall finish.
Barry hit one of the boards on a back chicane somewhere and tore the right side of his car off. After that race we called that the Baker chicane, and he even signed it. If I'm not mistaken, that was the 2nd time that weekend (or maybe third) he hit it and broke his car.
Good time, Mr. Baker. Miss racing with you my friend.
Side Note: Found the race result here: http://www.hpiracing.com/races/races-99.htm
About 3/4 of the way down. Proof!

J/K with you. Nice to see he's Barry Baker. Not Chuck Norris as someone else stated.
