Biondo Brothers
 

Has anyone read the article in July/August Drag Illustrated about the Biondo family? The article was very interesting about their childhood and into adulthood. Racing the famiy wagon that their dad towed with to learn the sport and into the many victories and championships they both have earned.
Many of us on Class Racer envy them. The lifestyle they were raised with is one most of us would not, or could not do. Like the story said they were "raised to race". Good story.

I haven`t seen that,but I do remember a small story in a National Dragster E.T. issue back in the late 80`s mentioning the Biondo Family and a pic of the same wagon. In black and white ink,it looked like a white 80`s Caprice wagon with wood grain on the sides. Nice!

That wagon was "Senior Citizen Tan".Right Sam?

Re: Biondo Brothers
 

I think the wagon was a Buick

Re: Biondo Brothers
 

Yep it was.

What a great read.. I never knew the hardships they endured and growing up without a mother must have been really tough. How sad it must have been to see the infamous wagon get crushed after all it had been through!

Thanks Ken, wow!I lift my hat to Sam. Claude

Cool. I've got one of those with me against the wagon.

We still have the practice tree that we bought from them over twenty years ago. Still works like new. I bought it for my son when he was twelve and now my ten year old granddaughter is using it for her jr/dragster. Pretty good investment eh? I always pictured Biondo as a LARGE company and thought it was cool to call there and have Sam answer the phone. Didn't know they were just regular guys like us.:rolleyes:
