Noose caught me signing up so the cats out of the bag, it's nice reading all the good things your old friends have to say about you, even if most of them are not true.
Believe me I wish I had done all the things that I have been given credit for. the truth is everyone of you made it possible for Nutley raceway to be a success I was closeist with Tony P. and Bob Emott, who booth worked or ran Nutley a lot of the time. I was also very close to Gorski, John Gorski Sr., Noose and the rest of Team Nutley. I think of you often and have spoken to some of you thru the years, boy how they fly by.

Tony do you remember the aricles we wrote for car model magizine? who took the trip with me to race in california? Bob Emott I remember you making a hand controller for RC cars with a steering wheel on top at our Belleville shop, amost like they use today.

Will post again soon
Thanks

Mike Great to see you on the Blog!
I went with you to California for the race at Don's in La.
It was my 1st plane flight and a fun trip we went to dinner with the Russkit guys
met a lot of the California Dudes for the 1st time.
You said it was your 1st California Burger you ever had.
Are you still flying RC planes?
Peace & great times

Mike, I was never at Nutley, but it's good to see you here. I do recall the Mike T./Tony P. articles that appeared in Car Model & still have at least one of the issues they were in. Welcome!

Hello Nutleys,

I have posted some of the Nutley photos before and will try to get them up again As stated above the local racing was awesome and wish Big Jim (my ride at the time) had gone more often, it was usually for the Saturday races after the Glen Oaks racing went flat. Friday's was Buzzi's

Enjoy

And a Happy New Year to you!

I know i promised the photos to you for your book, someday, but until the lawyers (recommended by JP) work out the detailed rights to them and royalties I will not burn the disc of TIFF files for you Maybe soon if you are still interested.

Mike,

Don't know if you remember me, I used to run around with Team Pooch/Team Camen) and introduced "Stick-it". I really enjoyed running at Nutley. Those were the fun days.

Fred, now is the time before we go to press, which is coming pretty soon now... so if you are willing... now would be the time.

[Mike Tango]

Thanks for all the kind words" Happy New Year to all of you.

I still have a bunch of fond memories from Nutley Raceway, you
guys have just jogged an old man's memory so I looked for some pictures
that I had, funny how I saved them! I'm not the saving type.
I found quite a few with most of you in one or more, when
I get to work and have some time I'll scan and post them.

Some of you have asked where I reside now, I still live in North Jersey,
with my better half Veronica we got married after the Nutley days have
raised five children and now have eleven grand childern.

Some of my hobbies are street rods, offshore speed boats, Fly fishing,
hunting, RC Flying and watching my grand children play sports.

Thanks
Mike Tango
