Hey Ron..Yes I ran into Scotty last year at a automatic Pro-Mod Race at Union County Dragway. He was helping Scotty JR with one of their play toy Pro-mods..it was brought out of the shop set up for the 1/4 mile and their 1st pass off the trailer was a 4.11..they ended up getting it down 3.70 range before the weekend was out.
about two weeks ago on Saturday night there was someone banging on the door about 7pm at night with a bunch of whooping and Hollering...it was Scottys crew,Randy J and Phil J ( Scottys life long side kicks) Hawk ( Mark Holcome) and some other guy I knew at the track but not personally...they hung out at the house a few hours ( out at the shop) and just had a good time...it was a Pleasant surprise..Phil J and hawk was twisted tight and insisted I take them for a ride in the 73- Z...So I did..From what I understand they did not make it home sometime early Sunday Morning..A cannon ball run is what they call it..I use to be part of that but do not party any longer or run the guantlet like these guys still do...lol.
Scotty was well off before racing and owns several rental properties including a restuarant and fishing lake...so money is not an issue for him..He also helps out Scotty JR with his pro-mod program and right after the picture you see below they left for Europe to run that circuit for a few months..Ya know Scotty ran over in Austraila most of his ON-SAT promod days in the Willy's..I ask him did he Miss the Big time Funny car NHRA and he said some things he missed and somthings he didn't..Bottom line Scotty was so Radical he never did fit in the BIG CORPORATE world of Racing in that Series .Him and Oakly are still on good terms but he chooses to support Scotty jr Which is also a former pro-mod world champion.
I am also sorry to say Scotty and Amanda are getting a divorce after 20 so years of marriage..I wouldn't mention it but its now common knowledge among the race world and general public..he is still is one of My good friends and always will be..Also Quain Stott called me a few weeks ago and shot the Bull for about 1/2 hour..We are like 3rd Cousins..and his dad and my dad were close as brothers..Quann still races and does serious consultant and R@D work for Big race teams on their Blower cars..Last Christmas season he spent 2 weeks in Alberta Canada tweaking and testing a blower for a team up there...how aout $50,000 for two weeks of testing..All expenses paid..
Both of these guys Scotty and Quain Stott make numerous trips to the Middle east helping out the ARAB racing teams..from what I understand what they get Paid is astromonical for going over there for a month at a time. Pat Musi has also got into some of the Mid-east royality Money..
me and Scotty
