Thanks for all the support and congratulations, it’s been a great year and quite a learning experience.

Hopefully I can carry the torch well for the next year, the previous Rookies of the Year look like Murderer's Row.

I have put in a lot of work this year but need to thank all those that contributed to my success. Thanks to all the top racers who have shared so much information here and on other forums and provide a benchmark to aim for. There has been enough information shared to give anyone a great start in this hobby. Throughout the year there have been plenty of guys who have reached out with advice or constructive feedback and no one has refused any question. The best part of this hobby has been the close knit group of racers and new friends made. Thanks to Joel, the Redfearns and all the team who contribute to running this league. I believe all of the racers have a similar addiction and without great people spending their time running the leagues we race in and providing top flight supplies we would have to find another (clearly inferior) outlet or vice. Thanks to all the rookies this year I felt it was a great class that had a group of builders with really diverse talents. It will be great seeing what everyone brings to the table in the future. It is truly an honor to win ROTY with such stiff competition!

Thanks to Mike M (Reece Racing) and Robert (Mid Atlantic) who have went above and beyond to provide guidance and encouragement throughout the learning experience. There have been times of setback where without the friendship and encouragement of Mike, Robert and other racers it would have been much easier to quit than pick myself up and keep fighting. Thanks to Terry and the Coopers who run APR, which is another great league and great bunch of racers.

Oh yeah thanks to my wife and kids who put up with me constantly checking the forums, working on cars, looking in any store we are in for anything I can use for PWD, staying up at night tuning cars in the kitchen or prepping wheels on the couch. Thanks to my son who is a great cub scout has helped me keep up my competitive spirit and has even pointed out a few improvements on my cars.

Happy New Year to everyone, I am looking forward to the 2020 season and seeing how I can apply the lessons I have learned throughout the year! Next up I have 4 scout cars for my kids (1 bear and 2 siblings) and nephew who is a lion.

Congratulation Anthony! There’s no question this class of rookies was filled with a lot of great racers. I enjoyed watching you and the others continuously improve each month. I’m honored to hand the torch over to not just a very fast racer but a truly great guy. I wish you the best and I hope you continue to have great success.

Well deserved Anthony! You've kept the press on despite those setbacks you mentioned. Setbacks certainly can take the wind out of one's sail but you overcame and continued to display a steady climb up the leader boards. Nice to see someone put in the hard work and be recognized for it. Congradulations and well done!

Nice job being ROTY. Well deserved!
