Default Your LS1tech Florida bracket racing team

I went to a final tonight (again...for the fifth time) and runner-uped in True Street

I also would like to recoginize Villain281H as he too went to a final and runner-uped.

So say hello to your LS1tech Florida bracket racing team! I had the track take a pic of us together in the winner's circle and will be posting it as soon as it is e-mailed to me.

Once again congrats to Villain281H, your footbrake runner up.

Good job Kyle! Maybe next time I can get a winner's trophy like you've collected this year a few times!

Hopefully the pics come out good!

Bracket racing takes a ton of skill & a bunch of luck to win consistantly.....keep hanging around Villian & the Rollins gang & you will be in the finals more than not.

Congrats Derek and Kyle, now there's 2 LS1 cars kicking butt in Gainsville.

Tracey you should get your girl back in a dragster, the Camaro is not fast enough for her.

She's been crewing this year with the Martel/Biondo team....fly's to each National event. They have been kicking butt big time this season.

Yep Biondo always kicks butt, he's almost as good as Dave Scigliuto. Your girl is a pretty damn good racer too though.

That car crashed & burned at Orlando in a division 2 event...brakes failed & the track personel did not see it burning at the end & kept sending pairs down the track..(typical Carl & Randy) but the new one is identical except the gold lettering. Watch the latest pics...RevXtreme stickers on it. Scigliuto only runs local & divisonal....but is damn good. He can only focus on one thing at a time....but it is intense focus! He rarely misses the tree. Biondo now has 5 world championships & 36 National wins in NHRA. http://www.apdracing.com/news.cfm?ID=47

That was 2 years ago right? Im talking about in about 94 Biondo drove my dad's car that had my Dad's name on in it in gold leaf. The one my dad won the division 2 race in 92 at Gainesville Raceway in. (Used to be Federal Mogul now Lucas Oil) None of my dad's cars have ever crashed

Biondo's current car Came from Bud Rowe, my dad's engine builder, including for that blue car you see in my sig. Small world huh?
