This picture comes from a current racing great, and multiple State Champion... You ready for this?   YES, that is a REAL person... I'd tell the story as I heard it, but I think it is better told by some of the alumni here... |

I remeber hearing this story from my donald and robert, was a rain out at the old fashion drill which use to kick off the racing season on Memorial Day weekend. I believe EJ is the dummy with Joe Conticelli (spelling?) carrying. Late 80's.

Not only is this story COMPLETELY TRUE!!!! But the " DUMMY" was an eager volunteer! As far as I remember the Flukes practiced that event only in preperation for the Lindenhurst Drill. Lindenhurst used to add an event to the days roster, I don't believe that they do that any more. The dummy is EJ Nolan and you are also correct about Joe Conticelli. he is the person on the ladder. I remember the first time EJ did it ... screamed the whole way down!!! He had a Blast!!! He volunteered to do it the following year as well. The Flukes did't have a dummy, and EJ weighed the same as the Dummy used in the actual event so it made sense to EJ ( 105lbs or 110lbs is what I remember) I believe that as we speak EJ is in on his way to the Middle East serving his Country. . . Say a prayer for him... Say a prayer for Hummer too! Than
ks for the picture Pat! What a great memory. Lauren

I'm also sure that Scotty and Bronko were the anchors on that ladder.
