50 YEARS OF RACING From 1961 to 2011
Nevada Rattler Fire burnout
Ricky started his racing career in 1961 when Team Manager Louie Martin towed Ricky's 1931 Model "A" to an airport runway in Silver Springs, NV. While racing at San Fernando Raceway in 1964, Ricky saw Rick Guasco's "Pure Hell" AA/Fuel Altered. That set the stage for his racing career. Since then Ricky has raced a wide variety of cars including C,B,A, Altered and A/Fuel Altered, BB/Funny Cars and AA/Funny Cars. In 1987 Ricky built and ran his AA/Fuel Altered and quickly realized that there wasn't any race car on the planet as exciting to drive as a NITRO BURNING TOP FUEL FRONT ENGINE HOT ROD!
With the help of his wife, Cheryl, and his 4 children, Jacqueline, Jill, Ricky Jr. and Ryan, along with his 11 grand children and numerous dedicated friends and sponsors, Ricky has kept his career and dream alive for 50 years. email rattler7010@yahoo.com
