NEMA Looks Back at Waterford

Nokie Fornoro’s win at Waterford Speedbowl on Aug. 22, 1981 was his third straight win and the eighth in nine races in the Scrivani #22.


From the left, Jackie Parker, Mike Scrivani Sr., Greg Snow, Jimmy Susi and starter Frank Scambato joined Nokie in Victory Lane.

Mike Favulli and Johnny Coy chased Fornoro home. Nokie won the next three races equaling the standard for straight victories – 6 – established by Joe Csiki in 1963.

Part of club since its inception in 1953, the Speedbowl will host it 82nd NEMA race on Saturday, July 24.
