Hey ALIAS...how about MOTT's YELLOW 3 and Gypsy Joe's Corvette...I remember it sitting on the lawn in front of his Mom's house on Curry Road after he smashed and pancaked it. No one ever knew how fast he was going when he hit a hole in the road. He had just picked up car from Mott's where they had finished engine mods. If I recall "DM" was in the car with him and she lived, but he didn't make it...thrown from the car. He hadn't bolted down the hardtop completely was one of the things being said. Car sat on the lawn in front of the house like a shrine for awhile.
JUST BECAUSE SISSY SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO...BUT HE THINKS IT DOES!!!!! JUST BECAUSE MC1 SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO!!!!!

HAHAHA!!!! You betcha. I was trying to think of the name Gypsy Joe. That freakin' Corvette was a mess.
Pete Corey drove the 3, and I remember when he had the accident in Fonda? where he lost his leg. A few kids from down the street near the bridge were big stock car fans, used to have little models of those cars and would have mock races in their backyards.
Remember them tuning up the 3 at Mott's getting ready for race night. Quite the racket. Never happen today, too much noise.
How about the Country Inn softball league, anybody remember that?
If I remember right, I think Pete did go back to racing, too. Yah, tuning up the 3 was awesome....rumble was unbelieveable, especially when they fired it up inside the shop bay. I don't remember what engine he had, but let's face it, any car engine exhausting straight out of headers is going to rumble!!!!!

Yep, Pete did race again, never quite the same though. He was "da man" at Fonda back in the day.
Funny thing, I was staying at the house on Helderberg the night Mott's burned down. A loud "wooommphh" woke me up, looked out the window and the place was in flames.

ROTTERDAM FBI probing threats against tattoo school Training shown in TLC documentary stirs controversy BY JUSTIN MASON Gazette Reporter
Lisa Fasulo’s opening line in TLC’s recent documentary on her Tattoo Learning Center says it all. “I’m Lisa Fasulo of the Tattoo Learning Center,” she says in the first minutes of the program, “and the tattoo world hates me.” Since starting the school in 2003, Fasulo has become used to the fl ak she’s caught from fellow artists for allowing her students to give real tattoos during their two weeks of training. That’s why she decided to start the hourlong documentary by adding the succinct statement. At the time, Fasulo and fellow owner center Jeff Looman chuckled about the line because it seemed kind of melodramatic. But they never expected the firestorm of hatred and outrage that would be generated from the documentary after TLC posted a synopsis of the program on its website several weeks before it aired nationally on July 14. Within hours of the posting, Facebook pages cropped up decrying TLC and the school on Curry Road. An online petition objecting to the learning center was posted on July 8 and garnered nearly 5,000 signatures in less than a day. “Not only do we need to protest the show, but we need to blacklist the dumb [expletive] who’s on the show telling people its acceptable,” wrote one poster identified as Tattooalix. “Who the [expletive] does she think she is!? Any respectable tattoo artist would have immediately declined an offer to make such a mockery of our lives and industry.” Then came the threats via email and phone, death threats and other threats of violence — both in copious amounts, Fasulo said. The hatred reached enough of a fever pitch that Fasulo decided to contact Rotterdam Police. Investigators referred some of the threats to the FBI, which is now probing them. “All that little paragraph did was launch an entire viral hate campaign among the tattoo community,” she said Thursday. Rotterdam Police Lt. Jason Murphy characterized the threats as “open-ended,” with many of them left on Facebook. He said no arrests are forthcoming, but police continue to investigate. One Capital Region tattoo artist contacted Thursday about the learning center and the TLC program offered support for both. But the artist refused to go on the record about either out of fear the outrage could rub off on his own business. The outrage also prompted TLC to release its own statement defending the program, which is scheduled to air again on Aug. 4. Spokeswoman Joanna Brahim defended the documentary on the learning center and pointed to TLC’s history of showing different aspects of the tattoo community in its programing. .......................>>>>....................>>>>.............................http://www.dailygazette.net/De.....r00101&AppName=1
Who would of known tattooist would take this show so seriously and what is there even to complain about? All the people getting work done know they're at the hands of beginners.
"In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a Patriot."
2 schools of thought about 'Tattoo School' Founder of Rotterdam site seen on cable downplays claims by some artists By LEIGH HORNBECK Staff writer Published 12:00 a.m., Saturday, July 23, 2011
ROTTERDAM -- Lisa Fasulo had her first tattoo done when she was 38 and at a crossroads in her life. Already a successful textile artist, Fasulo said she knew from the moment the hand-drawn design was inked into her skin, tattooing was going to be her next career.
At the time Fasulo was newly divorced and had little kids at home. She couldn't go the traditional route of apprenticing with an established artist. She learned on her own and she doesn't recommend it. Fasulo started the Tattoo Learning Center in 2003 for people, like herself, who are going to learn to tattoo one way or another. She has since opened a second school in San Diego, Calif., to meet demand on the West Coast.
"I like to think I make the journey easier for someone like me," Fasulo said.
But the two-week, $4,800 class, which includes room and board, has enraged the tattoo community. Tattoo artists say she is sabotaging the art form.
"My biggest objection is, she's charging a lot of money trying to tell people she can teach them to tattoo in two weeks. That's outrageous." said Tom Martin, better known as T-Bone, a tattoo artist for 19 years and co-owner of Lark Tattoo in Albany.
Martin also said he's fixed numerous tattoos that were done by students at the school.
Fasulo has faced more than criticism. The FBI and local police are investigating death threats against her. The rage escalated when "Tattoo School" aired on the cable television station TLC recently.
The show, filmed entirely at Fasulo's school in Rotterdam, opens with her saying the tattoo world hates her, but doesn't explain why. Minutes into the show on what appears to be the students' first day, they tattoo a banana, go to lunch, then start taking clients.
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
