Little brother Nicky raced the dirt tracks Iasl year, bUI was chompi ng at the bil to get on the pavement with his big brother. Nicky turned 12 th is year a nd by WERA ru les was eli~ ble to roa d race. Because of his racing expenence, Nicky skipped the Novice class a nd went straight to Expert. At Indiana po lis, N icky pu lled a big surprise by bea ting WERA F/ 3 Cham p T omm y by inc hes in the new Formu la Cl ub man race at Indianapol is in April.
