My first real job as a freshman in High School was at Finger's Auto Radiator....  How I ended up there was because I thought it would be cool to work at a place that sponsored racecars, and with the Norcia #81, with "Fingers Auto Radiator" written on the roof/hood being one of my favorites, it was an easy choice.

It was those early years that formed my lifelong intererest in short track stock car racing, and the Norcia #81 Black Horse Racing Team racecars are a big reason why.

We offer our condolences to the Norcia Family on the passing of John Norcia.  We will always remember the great racecars that made their way out of "Black Horse Lane"... and the memories that were created because of them.

The 1st driver I recall seeing drive it was Art Fillbrunn at Wall Stadium in the early '60s followed by Don Stives.

THE STORY I  HEARD WAS THAT THEY SCREWED ART FILBRUNN OUT OF A RESTART AT WALL  THAT WOULD HAVE GIVEN ART THE FEATURE WIN--

AFTER THAT AND OTHER STUFF LIKE IT, LIKE MATTY MCMANN ALSO  DID , THE NORCIA'S WENT DIRT RACING-MID TO LATE '60'S-AND NEVER LEFT !!
