NHRA Divisional at Atco Raceway, Saturday, May 1st 2010
I saw these two racers paired up for 1st Round, wishing each other well. This is Jeff Bardekoff of Commack, NY in the Plymouth and Ron Infantino of Nutley, NJ in the Camaro.
Ron is a medical rep for General Electric. His 1969 Camaro has a 350" small-block, a 3-speed auto and a 12-bolt with 5.13s.
Jeff is a a commercial flooring contractor with JKB Services in Islandia NY. His 1964 Plymouth Fury has a 426" Max Wedge, a non-pushbutton 727 TorqueFlite, and an 8 3/4" rear with 4.56s.
Jeff goes red here, and the disappointment is visable through the back window. Tough way to lose, but we've all done it.
I've always felt that race cars should have names. It gives them an identity; it's why I named my Dodge. There were some cool names at Atco this day, like the Midnight Rider...
...Budget Racing (notice the broken piggy bank)...
...Mixed Emotions...
...Real Gone...
...Lightning Rod...
...and Shane Oaks' Ruff-n-Ready 1986 G/SA Camaro. This started out as a 6-cylinder project car and look at it now.
