Default Where are they now??

So where are all the original sport compact racers that you dont see at the big races anymore....

Like Craig Paisley, Adam Saruwatari, George Ioannou, Abel Ibarra, JoJo Callos, Vinny Ten, Bruce Mortensen, and Ali Afshar

These were the days when I thought sport compact racing was going to take off and stay for good....man, times sure do change

Paisley and George are both at RPM north here in long island about 10 minutes from me working on porsches and ferraris and other high end cars. Vinny Ten is about 4 blocks away from me and he is doing 350z/g35, Thats his thing now. He seems to have a good following in that scene. Most of the other guys are out there, they just arent into it like they used to be.

There was a thread about this sometime last year I think. Only thing I remember from it is that Adam is doing some kind of farming with his family.

adam s. is still very much into cars, but is more on the exotic high end stuff like the other guys.

jojo is mia, whats up with that liked having him around.

heard bruce is coming back next year also ali was racing in fontana at the finals. hes still very much onto the sport.

many of the older racers have burn bridges, or busy getting old. i like to think that some of the guys now are gonna be the ol schoolers since they are very much involved.
