ISLAND DRAG-WAY..Hackettstown NJ-Good news.

[Rich Biebel]

Will do Bob.....and I am honored that Sam would think of me....The man is a legend and I am proud he thinks of me as his friend.......

Rich, let me tell you why we are loyal to Bob

4 years ago, Sunday June 14th, Rick Constable asked me to go to Numidia with him on a Sunday for Summit points race. I hadn't been to Numidia since the early 90's and my last time there/first time there I won "Heavy" Eliminator. Later that morning Rick and I are in the lanes and Bob came over and thank us for coming. Much to my surprise, Bob, knew my name, knew I had sold my Chevelle and knew I had bought the Firebird. I was surprised because frankly Bob and I never really talked back in the day when he raced at Island. Maybe a hello on occasion because he pitted across from us. Rick won that day and so did my son.





The point is Bob is a racer as well business man and truly appreciative of his racers/customers and from my observations, he treats everyone that comes in the gate like family. I know he has me and my son, quite the opposite of what I, he and many others experienced at island over a great many years.

Thank you again Bob and thank you Rick. Miss you buddy.

with the uncertainly in your words above and the fact that 14 hours since your clueless statement about Bob's business and finances you have yet to name the source of your misinformation as Bob has requested as well failed to apologize for your attempt to implicate me as your source, it's obvious you were talking out of your ***** which comes as no surprise, in an effort to defend island, a track that if I've seen you at twice in the past 20 years is a lot!

Ed I think of Ricky all the time......and especially when I walk past where he lived and worked,,,,,,and the place where he was stricken...

A damn shame someone who lived for nothing but racing was struck down at a young age,,,,,,


One of my last memories of him was him patting me on the back for getting down to 3 cars at Islands Wally race last year...He said,,,"not bad for a part time racer",,,,,, Sure made me feel good after a tough loss....

He was a hard working great guy.

[1320racer]

He was Rich. I'm a bracket racer today because of him and I race at Numidia because of him.

He didn't know it and neither did we until he was gone but he was also the glue that held our group together.

See you Saturday.

Ed, who didnt know you? You were the friggin big mouth that was shattering the records for getting thrown off every drag racing message board in the country. Everyone knew who you were...lol.

Anyone that has never been to Numidia should try. Its a great experience. I would of never come back to the sport if it wasnt there. Like Bobby said, stop and introduce yourself to him, you will be happy you did. I have never met anyone so willing to help out people. The big dude is one of the best people you will ever meet. Glad to call him a friend. Just wish I could of won a round or 2 when I drove for him...lmao.

Johnny, "big mouth" no, not afraid to speak the truth YES and as a weekly customer at island for 20 years I will state the truth and the facts!

EVERYTHING that I, Bob, Rich Biebel, karecovery, Frankie Cierelli have stated here and others have stated elsewhere on the web is the truth! Island's problems are their own doing that they worked hard at for a long time. NOTHING has/will change there and those that believe otherwise are drowning themselves in koolaid! No surprise some of the biggest cheerleaders on the net aren't racers haven't been there in decades!
