My best one, this would have to be the first 1/4 mile pass on the Caprice at the U S Nationals. I had been working feverishly on it since mid-May. I foot braked the thing first hit to be assured I got down track. After picking up my et slip and seeing the 10.902, I thought, well it was worth it.

After failing to meet my personal goal of having the new car ready for Indy, do to my poor attention to detail, doing well in the Cuda was a plus.

Working with Barry Parker, Lebanon Valley Dragway, the ASRA & the countless number of Racers across the country that $upported and Dontated monies to Successfully organize one of THE BEST Stock/SuperStock races for two Great D-1 Racers that passed this year, Alan Peters and Dave LeBrun.
109 Stock/Superstock racers made the call that day, and we were able to pay out over 15K to those that attended. It was only fitting that one of Dave Lebrun's 69 Camaro's Won the race Piloted by Anthony Fetch owned by Gary Richards. Special Thanks to Dave Ley, Russ Wernes, Bill Holms from the East Coast Stock/SuperStock Association for attending and coorinating this event..... and lastly to post my first "Trip-Zip" ever, qualifying #1 driving Mark & Paula Callanan's Camaro at the Event and collecting the bonu$ (Thanks to R/U Joe Lisa) |

It had been a lifelong childhood dream to run the US Nationals. I grew up watching my grandpa JB and uncle Marion run their stockers all over Division 3 tracks. I finally bought my stocker in 2009 but due to being deployed part of every summer I didn’t have a lot of time to work on it. After switching to the National Guard last year my cousin Chris and I worked on it until we got the time down to where I thought I had a chance of making the cut. My wife and two girls, along with my dad and friend Josh got to be there. Not only did we make the cut, we won a round of class and we went four rounds before losing a close one. Best race ever. Huge thanks to Chris Stephenson and Gary Herche for helping me make my dream a reality!!

As a fan, everyday at the track is as good as it gets. Being at Indy every year for all 6 days of the U.S. Nationals is always the highlight of my season. This year sitting in Dallas Kelley's SS/B T-bolt in the staging lanes on Sunday during a lengthy rain delay was priceless, as you can tell by my avatar. As the old saying goes "a bad day at the track is still better than a good day anywhere else"!

For me it was a big year overall. First getting the new engine in for the Atco open and running almost a second under with the trans slipping was a bittersweet start. I planned on running Indy for my first time ever if the new engine looked promising. Indy was a challenging race and thanks to lots of help from my friends Frankie & Frank Aragona Uncle Steven and Wally we got the car to hook a little better and qualified right in the top half of the field, then made it to the class finals! Then following that up with a number 1 qualifying spot at Maple Grove and going 3 rounds there was a great way to finish my season.
Looking forward to an improvement in 2020! |
