 | I’ve purposely delayed my weekend report for various
reasons. I first want to thank Melissa Milano and the staff at Island Dragway
for their perseverance in hosting this event. We look forward to it and our
rivalry with Chuck Exton. As some may know already, we had some severe tire shake
in the first round. We pedaled it 4 times to an ugly win over our good buddy
and rival Chuck Exton. But it was bad and I knew we needed to check the car
over well when we got back to the pits. There we found our wheelie bar tree
work broke again. So begrudgingly we packed it in for the day. Knowing we had
another show this weekend, we knew already with the pit buzz, the vultures were
circling (and the body wasn’t even cold yet). Well, thanks to our good friends
and teammates, Ron Cocca and Brian Cerniglia , we had a lead on a repair
facility on the 3 hour ride back home to NY. It’s all been fixed and is ready
to rock this weekend at Lebanon Valley Dragway’s Dover Drag Reunion. Thanks again to Kevin Beal for reaching out
to Dino Lawrence to make this happen at our home track. It means a lot to our
team to be able to race in front of our hometown friends and family! I need to
thank MANY people who sacrifice for this endeavor including my family, Deb,
Justin and Alex. Thanks to our sponsors, Ron Cocca and Gil’s for their continued support. Thanks to my
crew, Ron Cocca, Jeremy Rorick, Jeff Bradt . Guest crew this weekend, Brian
Cerniglia, Bill Bushman , (Justin Davidson, Troy Bushman, Todd Bushman and
Jacob Kahler, Kings of the T-shirt stand!) 





Chuck Exton keep on digging, the score is now 6-3 (still
your favor) If we both live long enough, maybe I’ll catch up…lol. You and your
team are Aces! Don’t hurt Jeff, he scares easily…lol
Lastly to the whole Steve Musser and Robert M Toth led Time
Bomb Team . What an awesome tribute to our buddy Rocky Roxlau. It was great to
see Karen A. Ihling, Cailey and Janet there to see this awesome tribute to a
great man. We had a front row seat on the top end where our friend will forever
be remembered. Simply awesome job guys!
