That was the one I was afraid of.
What a weekend, couldnt ask for a better start that to bang out that Wally on Fri, great job by Larry Peotter, who really can drive that finish line. The support I got from my friends was amazing, never in my wildest dreams did I think I could double up. Have to thank my great friend and Crew Chief Walter for all his help, without him, I wouldnt have had a chance. Good Job Bernie Staub who if he didnt redlight would have had my lunch.
Thanks to Tom & Lynn Hoosigian, Lynn who after losing 2nd round rooted for me & supported me as I passed her in the points, both are Class Acts.
Gabe & Judy Perino, Judy who was waiting for me on the return rd after the final nearly broke my neck in a death hug.
I broke a camshaft 3 weeks ago and without James Antontte Sr of JA Performance Race Engines, I dont even get to play
I had a trans problem so I thought, brought it to Ed Alessi Sr & Jr, had it back the same day, what great service.
The car came loose in the trailer the sunday b/4 the race and the nose took quite a beating, without the incredible job that my good friend and mentor, Tommy DePascale along with his son Chris had the nose repaired and ready to go on race day, thank you.
Sam Biondo, oh Sammy your pep talks got me over the hump, thank you.
Johnny Maggs Sr, thank you for the ice cream.
Thank you Jeff Jackson for sharing info with me over the years to make me better.
Having my wife and kids present at the race was amazing.
Everyone at the track who pulled for me , thank you.
Only wish my very special friends, Dave, Debby, Timmy,Bryan & Kenny V could have been there.
Last, to do it at the track where I cut my teeth at , amazing.
Have to stop now or CBS will accuse me of impersonating Jason O.
