Jay, I too find this a major slight by NHRA since Vinny did qualify at a few NHRA races over the years and made many attempts to qualify. I never met Vinny although I think I saw his rig at the GatorNationals once. What a great story about your first meeting with Vinny and I wish I had been more aware of his achievements and especially his desire. Anyone who has the guts and the will to go nitro fuel racing in any form has my respect, but to do it without much funding is very admirable. Not many guys like Vinny left our there. We have lost more than we are aware. Godspeed Vinny.
