Shane Liberty of San Diego, California sent in these photos and a note: “I wanted to submit photos of our dog Rossi in response to your article. The first one is up to date. The second one is a shot of when he was a pup and came out with my wife to watch me ride. My wife Kit and I both race with CVMA and STTARS.”

Do you have a pet named after a famous racer, or know someone else who has a pet named after a famous racer?

Send an in-focus pet photo (as a jpeg file) along with the name of the pet, the name of their human or humans, and their hometown, to [email protected] . The photo may be featured on roadracingworld.com during slow news days.
