Muscimol (agarin, pantherine) is the major psychoactive alkaloid present in many mushrooms of the Amanita genus. Muscimol is a potent, selective agonist for the GABA_A receptor set and exhibits dissociative and deliriant effects as opposed to psychedelic effects (see hallucinogens).

Amanita muscaria contains two main active ingredients, ibotenic acid and its derivative, muscimol. Muscimol is the product of the decarboxylation or drying of ibotenic acid and it is thought that muscimol is as much as ten times as potent as ibotenic acid.^{[clarification needed]}

Muscimol is produced naturally in the mushrooms Amanita muscaria, Amanita pantherina, and Amanita gemmata, along with muscarine, muscazone, and ibotenic acid.A. muscaria and A. pantherina should be eaten with caution and prepared properly to lessen effects of nausea.; no official deaths from poisoning have been recorded from A. muscaria and A. pantherina. In A. muscaria, the layer just below the skin of the cap contains the highest amount of muscimol, and is therefore the most psychoactive portion.

José Carlos Pace (October 6, 1944 in São Paulo – March 18, 1977 near São Paulo) was a racing driver from Brazil. He participated in 73 Formula One World Championship Grands Prix, debuting on March 4, 1972. He won one race, achieved six podiums, and scored a total of 58 championship points. He also secured one pole position.

Pace was a contemporary of the Fittipaldi brothers, Wilson and Emerson, and began racing in Brazil in the late 1960s. He travelled to Europe in 1970 and competed in British Formula Three, winning the Forward Trust championship in a Lotus car. In 1971 he moved up to Formula Two with Frank Williams, but did not score any points from six races. Nevertheless, he moved up to Formula One in 1972, competing with a Williams-entered March. He scored points on two occasions and finished eighteenth in the Drivers' Championship. His best result came at the non-championship Victory Race, in which he finished in second position. He also competed in some further F2 and Can-Am races.

Seth Troxler is an American born electronic music producer and DJ now residing in Berlin, Germany.

Seth Troxler was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan but grew up in suburban Detroit. As a child, thanks to godfather S.F. Kapoor, Troxler became aware of house music, as he says in an interview with electronic and dance music Ezine RA: "I started listening to house when I was seven or eight years old." This early exposure to house music seems obvious, since both his mother and his stepfather were involved in the Detroit house music scene. As a teenager, Troxler got a job in the record store Melodies and Memories, working alongside people such as Reggie Harrell, Terrence Parker, and even Theo Parrish. Later on, at the age of 16, Troxler began DJing. three years after graduating from Lake Orion High School, Troxler, together with fellow house music enthusiast Ryan Crosson, moved to Berlin, where he now resides working full time as a producer and DJ. He is well known for his upbeat tuneage and is soon going to be releasing records on a well-known German label with Bill Patrick, Lee Burridge, Little Mike and Catz n Dogz

John "Skip" Barber III (born November 16, 1936 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is a retired racecar driver who is most famous for his Skip Barber Racing Schools.

Barber started racing in 1958 while studying at Harvard University, where he earned a degree in English.

In the mid-1960s, he won three SCCA national championships in a row and finished third in the 1967 United States Road Racing Championship. Later, Barber went on to win consecutive Formula Ford National Championships (1969 and 1970), a record tied only recently.

At the start of the 1971 season he purchased a March 711, which he planned to take back to the United States and race in the U.S. Formula 5000 series. Before he did so, he took part in the Monaco Grand Prix, Dutch Grand Prix, United States Grand Prix, and Canadian Grand Prix in a privately funded March. He returned to the U.S. and Canadian races again in 1972. After that he raced GT cars.

When his racing career ended, Barber's belief that auto racing was "coachable" in the same manner as any other sport—at the time, a distinctly minority position—led him to create the eponymously named Racing School, and a year later, the equal-car Race Series.
