Eddie Munster?

Kinda looks like a bad photoshop job. But seriously, page 24 of this magazine says it's a guy named Steve; I assume the Steve Allen who wrote the article? His face literally looks like somebody cut it out with scissors and stuck it on with glue, but I imagine those are the contortions you need to get yourself into to keep your head as far from the tarmac as possible:

Nothing but respect for those guys.

Ahhh, that would be Steve Allen, as in the son of Titch Allen.

I wish I could have met Eric Oliver, his focus and fierceness is evident in every picture of him on an outfit. Passengers would have to be brave.

the sidecar passenger should have a kill switch to protect themselves from maniac drivers.
