Great photo of Lee & Vito! I went to school with Lee’s brother Kane and went to the track many times with Vito. If you remember there were twin A.V.cars, Vito’s was the original Byrne Bros. Z/28 F/S said “The real thing jr.” on the front fenders. The twin car was a 69 RS 427 SS/DA called “The real thing” owned by Tom Comperlengo,Tom owned a Coke distributorship in Westchester hence the car names.Vito owned a Gulf station in Hawthorne N.Y. on 9A.Tom later sold the big block car and bought the famous Brigg’s Chevrolet LS6 Truppi Kling chevelle,Tom had been a Truppi Kling customer.Aldo worked at Byrne Bros.Chevrolet but wasn’t involved in the ownership of the cars.

A few years ago late on a Saturday afternoon I needed a couple of the old Mr. Gasket S/B screw in rocket studs. Guess who had them in stock hanging on the wall. I’m guessing the guy in the store was Jungle Georges son.
