Here's
good friend Ronnie Picardo. He's driven everything from top fuel funny car's
to wheelie Stingray to Jet Truck. Here's Ronnie partying at Shakespeare County Raceway and NO we have no idea how he got
in that hole!
(Maybe
he's still there)!

A
big thank you to Firecrew Glen & Andy for watching over us many
times in 2001.
These
are the guys that make Dragracing the safe sport it is! |
