This will be a celebration of two of the biggest people involved in the History of Slot Car Racing from Brooklyn NY... Frank “Buzzy Perri and his wife Dolores Perri.

 

We will be racing Flexi NASCAR and Womps with very relaxed rules... have a car come and race.

 

This will be a fun time , with raffles, giveaways, shirts, HO track will be open…..so bring your cars.

Come and see some old pictures, and memorabilia from Buzzys private collection. So if you raced at BAR or just played with rental cars, maybe you have a story or two. everyone is welcome to come down.

 

Raceway will be open from 10 AM till whenever.

 

Lots of prizes to raffle off…. If anyone wants to donate a prize to be raffled off please let me know. We will make sure you or your business get recognized.Thanks!.

 

We already want to thank Caveman bodies, Noose, Larry Labounty, Ed Shorer, and a few local businesses for their donations.

Nick!

 

Wish I could join you all for this. I'm hosting a MARC New England HO race, and running in the Modelville Retro Marathon, both the following weekend. But, maybe I can be at Race Ya for this next year?

 

I know you, Tara,, and John will have the fun quotient dialed up to 11. Anyone in the New York and New Jersey area would do well to make the scene that day. Can feel it from here!

Thanks, guys.

 

I'm trying my best to bring slot car racing back to Staten Island... and to make sure the legend of Buzz-A-Rama doesn't die.
