Reply #66: the Lagana Family!

[90-percent]

I know those guys better than most other fuel racers. My bud on their team is Alfie Lamanna. one of the coolest unsung guys out there. It's also real nice to see the Lagana'a enjoy so much racing success these days. Dom was a runner up at a big NHRA Meet last year, which is the accomplishment of a lifetime and as big as big league nitro can get! Bobby Jr has been IHRA Top Fuel Champ more than once, hasn't he?

What Strasburg is dealing with in the NHRA is a travesty of justice and yet more arbitrary enforcement of NHRA rules. I hope they get this fixed. I hate the way NHRA always persecutes the little guys. Runs them out of town like common pygmies.

Nice to meet you. East Coast maybe? (I'm in NW CT, major liberal country here!)

Apologies for the thread hijack. I'm done. There's only three people on DU that even know nitro racing exists, and I've already met two of them!

PS - fearlessness at work? I made up my mind maybe 15 years ago that I would not live in fear in my workplace. Self censoring and second guessing myself was stopped. I am incapable of being "politically correct". I'm pretty diplomatic and considerate usually, but I still refuse to sell out my principals in life just to please a frail ego'ed superior. We all compromise to get through life, I just took as stand I would be true to myself. Hasn't enhanced my career at all, but I'm a pretty happy person.
