This hurts my heart. I remember meeting him over a decade ago at Gandy and his witty sense of humor and willingness to help others left a lasting impression on me. RIP Tony.

Godspeed, Tony... A true enthusiast of the sport, and one hell of guy to have had the pleasure to meet.

 

RIP Brother.

You have always been in Gods hands. Now you finally get to kick back with him.

 

man that sucks, so sorry to hear that. RIP Tony.

 

One of the first Badrap guys I met back in '99 or 2000 in a parking lot off of Dale Mabry and later on the bridge. I've bought parts from him and in the past year or so my son has grown up and bought parts off of him.

I just pulled up and started talking to him. He was cool as heck, really good guy even though he had never met me. Every time I've bumped into him since he was just a great guy and treated me like an old friend. Tampa racing has lost a class act. Proof that there is racing in heaven.
