Vinny Babarino?
I heard at SEMA that Vince was moving to Detroit because of a great opportunity for him.

Yes it is true.
He is not driving for bergenholtz no longer. They are good friends. It was not a break up nor was he fired for all you gossipers.
He has a great opportunity for him and his family.
We will miss him good luck and dont forget about us little guys.

Are you kidding me?

There is no I in team and they work as a team.

Bergenholtz will always do well. They have a drive like no other and they have a lot of friends that will help out.

Ron and Vince build the motors together.
I am sure it will be a great loss for the team because vince is a good guy and he has great ideas. But the Team will be ok.

Good luck Vince

OK, here it is. I am moving to Detroit. I received a job opportunity that I could not pass up. I have already talked with my team ( Family ) and they are all for it, but I will miss those guys. I have been with Bergenholtz for 8 years now, and they have enabled me to grow in my career and to learn so much. I owe them the world, it is them that made this opportunity possible by allowing me to be creative and to use my own two hands.

Trust me on this one, Bergenholtz will be just fine. Ron and I have always been in constant communication about the motor. I have set it up so that Ron knows exactly what to do. No worries there. Ron and Ed have been successful before and during my run with them, and they will continue to be successful long after I am gone. THey are my brothers, my family, and I have nothing to hold back from them, so they will get everything I know about the motors and they will improve upon it in time! I am not worried about it, otherwise I could not leave!!!

As for where I am going, I will not be drag racing any longer. I feel that I can do a much better duty behind the scenes for now. I will miss seeing you all at the track, and if I ever stop into a race, I hope that I can still BS with all of you same as usual! I will remain with my heart in this sport, I do hope that I have helped this industry to become a little bit better! Keep on drag racing, keep on going faster! Keep this industry alive!!!

To Ron, Ed, Sav, Rommel, Richard, Derrek, Kurt and the rest of the crew, I will miss you guys. TO all the good people in this sport, you know who you are, I am rooting for you. To all the sponsors and people that have helped me, thank you! To Beeri, Carmen, Tom, Elmer and Steve Montrelli from Arias, to Todd and Derrek from Mazda, Louis from ClutchMasters, Joe from GRP Rods, Nathan from Motec, Beverly, Cheri, Fernando, Brandon and Robert at Golden Eagle Mfg., Ryan from Fujita, Doug and Richard from Audiobahn, John at RC Injectors, John from Nitto, Gary Steen and Jam-Master-Jay from Steen Chassis, Don Trapp from A-1 Technologies, Brian Crower, Lori from Web-Cam, Gary and Lisa Kubo ( Gary taught me how to build motors the right way ) and Sav Leone ( who talked to me on the phone at 3:00AM on the opposite coast helping me out when I first got started!! ) and to all the racers that have helped me out and anyone I forgot, THANK YOU!!! I will be keeping an eye on all of you! Good luck to everyone in 07!!

p.s. To Steve and Gil Bothwell, Carl and the rest of the Bothwell team, you guys have been great to me and the team. I hope the best for you guys, your families and your future! By the way, I never got a call earlier? I'll be talking to ya!
