The pictures were great. It looks like your kids had a really good time being in those pictures on and with the trucks! I also enjoyed looking at the other pictures on your website. It's great to have motorsports fans come and enjoy our sport with us. Were you a native Long Islander at one time?

Uncle Kevie,
Yes I am a native Long Islander. I grew up in Hauppauge within walking distance of the C.I. Track. As kids, my friends and I always hung out over there whenever we heard the trucks running. I have lots of great memories of going to the C.I. Drills and parades back in the 70's. The real cool thing for me is having a picture of my boys on the same truck that I watched the Hoboes running when I was a boy.
I kind of forgot about FD Racing as I got involved with racing at Islip and Riverhead thru the 80's and then moved into the Busch Series for a number of years. We moved off the Island 10 years ago, and after a few more years in NASCAR, I got involved with Sports Car Racing (some of which are the pictures I have posted) .
I also rediscovered FD Racing via the internet, so started coming to a few Drills when I was up for family vists a few years ago. I typically get to see three of four per year, but this year my own racing schedule along with my regular job are making trips back to L.I. difficult (which also doesn't make my parents happy - LOL). My sons love to play Three Man Ladder on their playset, and want to move to NY so they can race. Who knows, maybe in a few more years.....

Hey Ken, where in Hauppauge were you? I lived right over the border in Hauppauge too, that's what made me such a "nut" about FD Racing. used to rush from the dinner table to go CI practice!!. Always had wished that Hauppauge had raced when I was young, but never happened only many many years ago before I was born!!.

I lived on Joyce Drive off Bridge Road. I always wished Hauppauge had a team as well, but was happy that CI did and was so close.
