No, the post isn't sarcasm. I understand he has a great history and has great people driving his cars but I am just curious if this is a business for him or a hobby. He's got a hell of a stable and a lot of money invested.
Not being a smart *** just curious. Don't hate me for asking questions.

I don’t know him personally but I believe he Has a drywall company so I have heard he is a very hard worker. anyway I ran with him in ihra and I know he used to win all the time. and I know he has a stable of very fine cars. I used to run against the one in HR (10.90) driven by Kenny Underwood. That car alone won the million dollar race one year

I am pretty sure his racing operation is a hobby. In that he does not make his living doing that. His family had drywall and building supply business from
What I have been told.
He surrounds himself with some of the best drivers in drag racing and is for sure one of the best of all times. I have raced him many times and he is one tough competitor. He can and has won in just about every class in sportsman racing. When he races in D2 he runs his super stock modified Grand Am and top dragster most of the time. He has top notch equipment and perfectly prepared

Don't forget his wife (Melinda?) was or still is a model...

And John Labbous Jr. is a very good driver...

Frank Castros · 08-23-2021, 02:30 PM

One of the best for sure.

Adger Smith · 08-23-2021, 03:27 PM

He runs his hobby like a business.
Has a good time with it and is very serious.

Reminds me of Harold Stout in that they both found good drivers.

Anthony showed up at the Moroso 5-Days back in early to mid-'90's with a Firebird and a Zoo! (Kevin McKenna will vouch for that) Then came Jim Harrington (Jersey Fat Boys), IHRA, championships, etc. He's the real deal and a gentleman.
