It’s
been more than 25 years since the North American Amateur Drivers Association
has competed against their Hungarian counterparts but on Friday, Sept 1 and
Saturday Sept. 2 a five-man NAADA team will renew the challenge at Kincsem Park
in Budapest.
The
participating members of NAADA team traveling to Hungary for the International
Friendship Competition next weekend include, NAADA president, Joe Faraldo,
NAADA vice president, Alan Schwartz, along with Peter Kleinhans, Paul Minore
and Bob Davis.
“This
will be our third overseas International Friendship Competition since the late
spring,” noted president, Faraldo. “Earlier this year we raced against our
counterparts from France and from Italy and as usual we were treated like
Royalty. We’re now making plans to offer the French, the Italians, and the
Hungarians a chance to come to America and let us entertain them and race
against us on our dirt.”
As
usual, winning is secondary in International competitions. According to Faraldo
“Winning or losing is incidental in these international driving
competitions.. It’s all about sharing the comradery we’ve fostered over the
years and we, and they, look forward to these annual races in each of our
countries.”
Below
