A note of thanx to John Panuzzo (Red96Coupe)

John, dropping a note of thanx to you for inspiring me. A long time ago, when I first saw your car in your signature, I was just truly impressed with how it looks and the Welds, and the tire smoke and the whole CARTEK challenge thing.
It inspired me and I set out to do like wise. We have our version of the challenge out here now........the WCCC(thanx Gary) and now I'm participating in it + the Weld's + the tire smoke and all............
I am having alot of fun. But again, it was your car with the prostars that sparked my interest and now I live for racing mine. Thanks for providing me with the logistical help of the correct rim size/backspacing/longer studs... etc...etc
it's all working well. So again, if I have any fun or success racing it was inspired by you.
THANX JOHN!!!! :cheers:

John has inspired many of us, myself included, it was he that emailed me three years ago to start drag racing.

I first met him and Mackey at E-Town back in October or November of '99, although I had made many deliveries to Mackey before I knew who he was.

JP is my mentor and JM is my instructor, the two of them have brought me a long way.

Paul congrats as great as John Panuzzo seems here on the forum, you really are missing out without the seeing him in person. That is 70% of the show.

Great guy who brings out the best of us. Heck we could have John Panuzzo roast with all the pics we have of him at the track. :lol:

John is our CCC Clown for sure. He'd make an undertaker crack up with laughter. Definitely brightens things up at our events. Always playing pranks :)

I definitely knew He was a class "A"Guy when fellow racer and friend ralph had car trouble...and John lent Him His car so ralph could get points(And I think John also had rear trouble that day).

You're aok Mr.Panuzzo. :cheers:
