First time I ever raced a big car (my Nova) was in Pro (then Heavy) in Englishtown way back in 2000...lined up next to me first round was Marty and his orange Camaro. I'm .516 and off the number, he is .502, 2 over whomping me while smiling and giving me a quick wave at the stripe in a little "welcome to the big leagues kid" moment. Awesome guy and man that car was CLEAN!

Ran Steve Martel in the semis at Cecil County August 2002. Remember he was stone cold serious in the lanes during the coin toss. Had a great race against him I was lucky enough to win, and one round later won the race. Came up to me in the Winner's Circle, got a slap on the back and a good job...class act and a super nice guy, but man he looked tough as nails, especially to a young 20 year old!

RIP to two guys who were apart of some formidable moments of my racing career...awesome guys and great racers both.
