Adam Landolfi and Vinny Tarantola

[Andamo]

Over the past 2 weeks we lost two racers. One young racer, Adam Landolfi, and one older racer, Vinny Tarantola. I knew they had passed away but I don't know much about them other than Adam was a SS racer and appeared on the TV program Pinks, and Vinny was a old time gasser racer who owned Vitar Transmissions. If anyone can contribute more to the lives of these racers, please do so. God speed to both of you.

Hi. Adam was a Northeast Racer who gave Pro Stock a shot. Tough gig! He raced with the Northeast Pro Shootout Association, a group of Pro Stock, Pro Mod, and Top Sportsman racers who put on a great show. I saw him race a few times, at MIR and probably Englishtown. We show him racing from 1993 to 2001 on Draglist.com. Here are the times we do have... bp
