MOVERS & SHAKERS
Family Portrait
Scott and Angela Macy enjoy a day of drag racing with their four-legged children , Kacy Lu ( left ) and Oz . While Scott is an accomplished bracket racing journeyman , the winningest racer of this family might just be Oz , who once resided in Florida and was a professional race dog before retiring to the Macy ’ s couch ! Scott and Angela have been known to foster retired racing Greyhounds and occasionally provide them with a forever home . They ’ re also active in acquiring rescue dogs , which is how Kacy Lu was adopted into the Macy family .
ON DECK Kolton Decker had an impressive outing at I-64 Motorplex in late October , scoring his richest weekend of winnings to date . Decker , who ’ s only been racing for a couple months , entered the beginner ’ s class and picked up the win on Thursday , then doubled up to win Friday ’ s event as well . When not chasing big money purses , Kolton enjoys racing at his local Thornhill Dragway in Morning View , KY .
OUT WEST East coast Pro Mod team owner and crew chief Camp Stanley regularly makes the haul out to Las Vegas to compete at SCSN with his son , John , and their blown Cadillac CTS-V . The Stanley & Weiss entry was quicker in the Outlaw Pro Mod final , but John ’ s red light handed the win to Mike Maggio .
MEL X2 Race promotor Mel Roth , pictured here with the husbandand-wife Pro Modified team of driver Melanie Salemi and tuner Jon Salemi , takes a hands-on approach to his races .
BREAK TIME A pause in the action allows for a quick conversation between Mel Roth , team owner and Outlaw Pro Mod driver Jay Dietrich , and his tuner , Paul Taylor . On top of driving his own blue Camaro , Dietrich also fielded a black Camaro with Frankie Taylor driving , though the motor from Taylor ’ s entry was swapped in to replace Dietrich ’ s expired bullet for eliminations .
