Count me in as well to pitch in (you already have my shipping info). What's your Venmo handle, Dennis? Sorry to hear about the scumbag porch pirates....

we chased the desert racing scene back when Danny was still kicking everyone's asses. one year at the Utah national H&H we parked right next to Danny and all I can remember is getting up and getting dressed for the mini race (i was on 80's at the time) and here comes this tall old dude in ultra-short jogging shorts and a windbreaker back and forth past our truck/trailer. dude's outfit was lifted right out of an 80's exercise video. it was Danny's dad. he took me over and introduced me to Danny, he signed my shirt and hat (still have them) and gave me a stack of signed posters.  i hung every single one of them in my room, i bet there were 30 of them lol. mom thought i was crazy, why so many of the same exact poster? 

after my race we were hanging at the first check-point marking fenders and you can't see anyone but all you can hear is a 500 wide open and sage-brush flying everywhere. here comes Danny, mark his fender, he yells out "THANKS! SEE YA AT THE TRUCK!", and hauls ass out of there. it was a few minutes before the next guy (Ty Davis) came through, blew my mind how far ahead he already was.  the guy really was the best there ever was. 

Badassery defined right there. While pushing the limits of human ability he still had the awareness to recognize some little kid he just met and formulate a comment. I'm betting you wouldn't have felt the least bit slighted had he just gotten his fender marked and taken off. Instead, the dude made a lifelong memory for you and countless others he did similar things for. Hall of Fame badass.
