After failing to meet my personal goal of having the new car ready for Indy, do to my poor attention to detail, doing well in the Cuda was a plus.

Working with Barry Parker, Lebanon Valley Dragway, the ASRA & the countless number of Racers across the country that $upported and Dontated monies to Successfully organize one of THE BEST Stock/SuperStock races for two Great D-1 Racers that passed this year, Alan Peters and Dave LeBrun.
109 Stock/Superstock racers made the call that day, and we were able to pay out over 15K to those that attended. It was only fitting that one of Dave Lebrun's 69 Camaro's Won the race Piloted by Anthony Fetch owned by Gary Richards. Special Thanks to Dave Ley, Russ Wernes, Bill Holms from the East Coast Stock/SuperStock Association for attending and coorinating this event..... and lastly to post my first "Trip-Zip" ever, qualifying #1 driving Mark & Paula Callanan's Camaro at the Event and collecting the bonu$ (Thanks to R/U Joe Lisa) |

Several years ago my beautiful B/SA 69 Camaro got stolen and was never found. I was devastated, and it was years before I made it back to the track. That was hands down the worst day in racing for me. This year in Las Vegas after a casual discussion with another racer I found out he was thinking of selling his 427 A/SA 69 Camaro. It was a bit of an impulse buy - but by that evening I had a new car and was once again going to have the chance to race my first love....a big block 69 Camaro.
It’s out in the garage right now, sitting next to the 69 RS 396/375 streeter Camaro that I got after my baby got stolen. It’s resting comfortably up on jacks as I work through a few of the off season changes I wanted to make. A couple of times I have awakened and thought I heard some laughter coming from the garage. Like my father used to do when we got too rambunctious after bedtime I go down the hall, open the door, and try to sound stern when I say, “You kids keep it down, it’s bedtime and you need to go to sleep.” I close the door and try not to laugh - just like my dad did 50 years ago. When sleep finally comes on those nights I dream about how much fun it’s going to be this coming year: all the laughter, great meals, exciting round wins, disapointing round losses, quiet moments driving to new tracks, and mostly the camaraderie that makes this crazy sport so addicting. But mostly I dream about how great it will be to be back behind the wheel of a beautiful 69 Camaro again. Thanks John! Happy New Year to you all - and to all a good night! |
