The following is a video message from me as a farewell and an apology to those who I have hurt in anyway, shape or form in the racing community. This will be the final time I read or post on RaceNY.com.

I am aware that several people dislike me and hate me because of my actions over the course of the past several years and I am sure negative comments will follow and rightfully so.

Before posting I respectfully ask that you watch my video message. Thank You for your time and best of luck in all your feature endeavors. Take Care and Goodbye Everybody.
