HERES A Quick OVERVIEW of “HOW IT CAME TO BE” . . . .
TONY Agreed to “Let Us USE the Track” on one of his regular Test & Tune -Gamblers race ‘off’ Days…At Regular Rates to enter .First it was Sunday Oct 18. We would Provide everything For Our Race..Ads-Plaques-flyers-Decals-Promotion administration-planning-crew.And Basically Be our Own Race “Unit”. He offered to supply the Race Trophies -Cool! Much As A club runs a Car Show. Full run of the property .WE had NO money to pay for all this….I almost feel over when I got Printers Quotes ,but was determined to put out quality stuff.Unknown costs such as shipping of Flyers cost over $150. alone to our guys (14) all over the northeast to hand out at shows. To finaince all the costs…We called and e-mailed literly hundreds of prospects to see if they would lend support. Most were kind of “Leary”..a little stand-offish” to our Crazy idea. They never heard of such a thing.Those that Agreed are listed in the Sponsors-Boosters Topic heading….THOSE people And Businesses are Forever in our Gratitude OR it just wouldn’t have happened. DRAG RACER Magazine (Randy) -MOROSO -M&M Speed & Custom And City Carting (Anthony Terenzio), Laid the Foundation To move ahead OR …we couldn’t go On. Some Forum Members donated -and we got some Associate Sponsors …But I’m sure that will change now ,Allowing us Greater freedom to ADD some more Features.”Features” -Cost Money. We had the Rain-out and Most don’t know all the two days of scrambling that went on, to reschedule and get the word out. I hit about 30 forums and numerous websites plus tons of Phone Calls. Bobby Smith And I for months were working behind the scenes fine tuning details you guys knew nothing about.(Bobby -Please post Your “helpers”-Great Job!) Brian Marasco and a some others were constanly coordinating other things. Tony took a giant gamble ,considering he had the track repaving expense planned and had suffered a terrible year with cancellations ,as did all tracks.No expected income .He Rained out again the following week! Well …We have a great team we can trust -along with a great TRACK CREW at Island and Have pretty much made history. Please Send a E-mail To Tony ( tonyd@islanddragway.com ) With A big Dover Thank You!- lets jam his mail box !We Are Going to, as stated elsewhere ,produce a Video of the Race. In That package will be a complete “Program” & race report ,with all the details and Principle players listed. Big Plans for RACE 2 …stand by for the latest as we get it.
