You can look him up at.... WWW. friends of tony.com.

 Tony has been in the Racing Engine environment his entire life.... In fact he had a "Bad Ass 69' Nova"

 back in th 80's...and it was only a small block!  It was the FASTEST car around...PERIOD!!!!

 He worked at an engine shop as well as myself.

 To his dismay,   My 68' bbc/4 speed CHEVELLE/SS  defeated him  and I had The Fastest Car around.
 We raced  everything and anything.  Those were the best days ever.. Tony never regained his title

 my CHEVELLE  always beat all of the competition..  In fact  "76 NORDIC" had a bitchen  "70 Firebird"

which held it's own as well.....But he could'nt beet the chevelle either.

Theses where serios racing days on the Whittier strip and surrounding areas, for Bucks!

Anyways,   Sorry for the dragged out story...... The point is my friend Tony called me yesterday
and we talked about those times.... Awesome rememberance.

Anyways Tony is a fellow racer, which turned his thoughts to Aircraft.

In Fullerton, Ca.  Back in 2004,  His plane crashed and it was no fault of his,from what I understand.

He suffered severe burns/injuries which in no doubt6 has affected his life forever.

If any of you wan't to contact him and wish him well.... Please do.   www. friends of tony.com

Tell him "The Engine Doctor" let you know about him.... I am sure he would love to join "SCJB"

let him know to do so that we may be in touch with him...
