Hi Dino…
“I have been on the site and have attempted to get Tony to look at it…He is not into blogs and all that…he always wants me to be his correspondent.
I have enjoyed seeing the info on John Sachs and Billy Kolb. I worked for them for a number of years at White Plains Ford. That was before I knew Tony. I used to like hearing the stories of Bill’s wheel stands and then of course John was into the bikes. So needless to say when I met Tony I was all into the racing too.
Now we are into the antique cars… We have a 47 Chevy and a 65 olds convertivble. I hear there is a fairly new drag strip up in Billings MT ( about 2 hours from here) …so I have the feeling that we will be venturing up there come spring! I can see that once drag racing is in your blood….you might not drive any longer but you never shed the urge to be around it!.
I will look thru some old photos and see if there are any from the GOOD OLD DAYS that I can send off to you.”
Kindest regards as always

Hi Tony and Pam, sorry I lost track of you but you just disappeared……For those of you who only knew Tony from racing I watched him grow up in Armonk, N.Y. since he was about 7 or 8 years old..His dad had a restaurant and bar there called Club Avalon and we all hung out there.Tony was part of our street race crew and later on became very active in the local drag racing scene……..Tony I would love to hear from you……….Don Kauer……..
Pam,
Been awhile.Relocated to Florida,after selling the Ford store.
Not sure I ever met your husband(my old age,memory).Don K. will prolly get him involved here.
Bill Kolb will be down with his wife next week,for their annual visit.
Stay well,
John
