Sam Posey

[Daniel]

Does Sam Posey have Parkinson's Disease? I noticed on the USGP coverage and the Porsche Rennsport Reunion show that he seemed to be shaking/twitching constantly. How old is he?

Yes he does. Although I have never been a big Sam Posey fan I realy have to admire him for his courage in dealing with his disease. My father died from Parkinsons related problems and it's obvious that Mr. Poseys problems are getting worse. It is good to see him still getting on camera and getting up at 0:dark thirty to call F1 races.

I have to echo that. Some people have said what a shame it is that Speedvision can't do a better job of hiding it. I think it's pretty obvious (by the camera angles chosen) that Sam is not interested in hiding it or allowing himself to be shuffled to desk duty. He appears to be committed to doing just as much as anyone else on the team forever.
