Vince Vanni passes

[Ven302]

Vince was surely an icon in the southern Ontario drag race scene. One not to mince words, you always knew where you stood with him. From what I saw he loved watching his boys drag race, and overflowed with enthusiam with each victory and deep finish. I always enjoyed his calls on Monday morning, usually to rattle the cages and get things stirred up. The stories Vince told me were as entertaining in substance as well as delivery. He could always get a trailer full of rain soaked racer's laughing. The irony is he didn't just see it happen, but so many times made it happen. Vince lived the "drag race dream" most of us could only dream to have. I will surely miss the telephone calls, and his visits to the trailer to find out "what did you run". Our last Can Am race will be a somber one at best, Vince you will be truly missed.
