50 Years of Racing

Jim Whitehead · 10-16-2015, 11:03 PM

I thought i would put a little spot Light on my friend Vic Santos. Vic Just Finished His 50th season of Drag racing. Vic has raced many brands and makes of cars over the years. From A GTO, to a Chevelle to his currant ride A Pontiac Firebird. Over the last 28 years Vic Has Worked hard to make the Pontiac 400 combo run so well. Like Last weekend at the Dutch Classic coming from the Number one qualifying spot with a 9.99 run on his 11.20 index in GT/IA to a Runner up finish to John Armstrong. Vic has won numerous races from Divisional to All Star races to National opens. Always putting his Firebird in the top 16 of Qualifying, along with several number one spots. CONGRATULATIONS MY FRIEND ON 50 GREAT YEARS OF RACING.!!! I hope you go for 55.

Congrats Vic on 50 years of racing, but racing makes you feel like you are 25 again.

Congratulations to Vic who I met many years ago at Epping.

Also to Lee, I remember when you and your dad raced together at Dover.
