Thanks for the update Carl. I have become friends with Neal and Gary Federico by meeting them and getting to spend some time with both of them when they come down for the Div.2 races at the begining of the season. This past July my wife, I and 2 of our kids spent a week in NYC so our daughter could go on a campus tour for high school students at St. Johns University. Neal helped us in planning our time while we were there, helped us get a great deal on Boadway show tickets and had us over for dinner one evening after we visited the college.

Gary told me on Facebook that Marty Ganjoin suffered quite alot of damage from the storm including his race car. I hope and pray for the safety and recovery of you all that have suffered from the storm.




Hey Dan Moore, you're #1.

RIP Mark Graham & WB Hutto

Hey Chuck, yes, power came on yesterday (I was out for a week total). Spoke to Neal, his house suffered some damage from a large tree, nothing major or structural, from what he told me a broken window, gutters, an air conditioner was totaled. The tree kind of hit his house and landed in his neighbors driveway, crushing the neighbors car. The tree was from across the street! Neals race car and RV are ok. About 4 large trees came down on his block.
Noreaster coming through tomorrow, they are calling for sleet or rain and up to 60mph wind gusts. Its only gonna add to the mess.

Carl, if you or Neil,or any other racers up there need a place to keep your trailer or motorhome for a while ,I've got plenty of space at the shop lot.
Neil kept his trailer here when I worked on his car. Most of my customers leave their trailers rather than tow them back.
It's a pretty secure area, only a block from the Police station.
PM me if you or someone you know needs help with this.

Thanks for the update Carl. I'm glad to see that you all are making progress to recovery. Hope the next event doesn't set you back too much.

Thanks very much Tom, I will spread the word. Things are starting to look better now that power has being restored. Neal and I are lucky, the people on the shorelines have a ways to go before things get back to normal. You know it was a bad one when the Queens/Midtown tunnel is flooded!.

Marty Gangoin is a good guy. If anyone has any info regarding his possible damage please let me know so I can try to help out any way possible.

[Joe Pinkston]

John, I believe Chris DePascale posted on Facebook that Marty's race car and trailer was taken to their shop for repairs. Don't hold me to that information though.

Marty's race car and trailer are ok (thankfully) but his house was flooded , lost 4 cars ( p/u trk, his Corvette, wife's Mustang , and daughters Jeep.! )Marty is putting things back together I talk to him every day so I will let him know.. He still has no power and no Internet yet ... Also Dennis Altman has a house about 4 miles from Marty he had 4/5 foot of water in his house !!
