When I was 11 years old, my Uncle asked me if I wanted to go to the Flemington Fair with him.  Little did I know that there was racing taking place that night.  At the time, he worked at the Piscopo Bros garage in Morrisville.  After the races, he took me into the pits where I met Budd Olsen who was driving for Davey at the time.  A couple of years later, one of the customers on my paper route was Mark Lenhart.  As I got to know Mark and his family, he eventually took me to Flemington, where he had reserved seats in the covered grandstands.  I was hooked, and never looked back.  I am 67 now, and as active as ever in racing. Working with 3rd generation driver Mike Thompson with his sprint cars, after previously serving as his dad Len's crew chief back in the late 90's, early 2000's.  Before that, helped best friend Bruce Bowen with his URC cars, competing against Mike's grandfather and granmother, Bruce and Bev Thompson.  Having my own "off season rebuild", currently recovering from open heart surgery. Looking forward to Motorsports in a couple of weeks to get the next season started.  Allen
