- This was definitely during the Spring or Summer of 1992. The list was posted
- and discussed in rec.auto.sports this year just after the Belgian GP (and I
- saw it during the race coverage). As to whether this list was used during the
- regular show, I think not. Like the Bob Costas and ESPN list, Dave taped it in
- front of the regular audience while wearing his talk show uniform. As a regular
- watcher I don't recall the lists appearing on the show.
-
- As all of the above depends on human memory, it is most likely wrong.
