Anthony Bertozzi
Given the way the 2007 season turned out for Anthony Bertozzi, he should think about taking it easy more often.
That's because even though the he followed through with his plan to spend a large portion of the summer relaxing in Virginia Beach, Bertozzi, 41, still managed to pull off a rare feat by capturing both the Stock Eliminator and Super Stock IHRA World Championships.
No one has ever won both the Stock Eliminator and Super Stock championships in the same season before, but 2007 was the fourth time that Bertozzi has won two IHRA championships in the same season. In 1996, 1997, 1999 and 2000, he won the top honors in both the Super Stock and Modified Divisions. Including the two championships he won in 2007, Bertozzi has won 16 IHRA world championships and one NHRA championship.
"I loved the old Modified division because that was a non-electronics class," he says. Bertozzi was the IHRA Modified champion in 1994 through 1997 and again in 1999 and 2000. IHRA dropped the Modified division from its championship slate after the 2002 season
