1st time winner in SS
 

Congrats to local boy Pete D'Agnolo for winning SS at Zmax this weekend. He's good friends with my boys, and he's a very good young racer that I'm sure will win many more events in the future.

But as happy as I am for Pete, I'm probably even happier for his dad Sam. Sam has raced that same car since I was a teenager, maybe longer. I remember watching him run the same car in Modified Eliminator at the local tracks back when they ran Modified at the local tracks! He's a hardcore, hard working, die hard class racer that probably no one outside of western NY ever knew about till now, and I couldn't be happier for him and the whole family.

Great job guys!

I have to agree with Dan, he is very quickly becoming a Super Racer & a Tough guy to get past ... I am sure this is the First of many Wins to come for Pete ... ( Checkout his Lights ) " Enjoy it , you earned !!!! " Good Luck in 2014

Re: 1st time winner in SS
 

Quite the string of lights he had! Does he cut double-o's in his sleep? Well done.

Dan giving him lessons or vise-versa :-)

Congrats to Pete and Sam. I have watched his driving skills for a while now, he is very good at what he does. I would like to add he has been a killer on the IHRA side. Congrats again on the NHRA national win my friend!

Re: 1st time winner in SS
 

Nice going , Pete and Sam .

Re: 1st time winner in SS
 

First and foremost We want to congratulate Pete for his super driving job. Also his dad Sam for giving him a great car to take him to the winners circle.
I remember this Camaro when Sam drove it to high school and I did some minor touch up to a scratch Sam got when pulling it into his shop in the early 70's. It has sure come a long way since those days.
Sam and Pete are super hard workers and it paid off this weekend.
We are very happy for them and family.
Best of luck in the future.

Here is an old Lynn Morton photo from Empire Dragway in 1977. Looks like the D'agnolo Bros entry in C/SM trim.
