Parise Racing Ready to Move on After DNQ at POD
The Parise Racing team has come a long way in a fairly short time. The husband and wife duo has also seen its fair share of ups and downs and this week was no exception. Parise Racing attended the Pro Outlaw Doorslammers (POD) race at Maryland International Raceway (MIR).
“My 63’ Tim McAmis Corvette was less than cooperative this weekend.”, stated Dina Parise. “For first round qualifying, I left the line and she just shook, hard. We brought her back and our crew Chief Dave Jordan made some changes. We went back for round two and she shook again, but I peddled it. It just wasn’t enough to get in the show. It’s ok. We will go back and look over the data and correct the issues before our next time out. We are confident in Dave, and that is half the battle.”
Andrew Parise was presented with problems of his own. “Just as I left the line in the first round of qualifying, my 53’ Montana Bros. Corvette blew the tires away.”, stated Andrew. “We went back and made some changes before second round. The car still shook leaving the line, but I peddled it. Like Dina, it was not enough to get in the show. It was tough for both of us to be out. Our crew chief Dave Jordan and (crew) Brandon Page did a great job this weekend. It just was not in the cards for us, I guess.”
Being at MIR for the Quartermaster’s Challenge, featuring Pro Outlaw Doorslammers was more than just a racing weekend for Parise Racing. The team held Sydney’s Butterfly Wishes Benefit with the help of POD, MIR and Quartermasters Racing. The benefit was (and still is) to aid the Meekma family in managing current and ongoing medical costs due to Sydney’s recent Leukemia diagnosis. Sydney is 5 years of age, and this is her second battle with cancer in her young life. When the team put the word out about Sydney’s Benefit, POD and its members were there to help.
Parise Racing would like to thank POD for their involvement in the benefit as well as the Pink, personalized, remote controlled car they presented to the team on Sydney’s behalf. Maurice Bea, Candyce Marsh and Jessica Petrini went above and beyond for Sydney, as did the POD organization on a whole. The team would also like to thank Keller Motor Sports for the vinyl Sydney’s Butterfly Wishes Logo.
The team on behalf of the Meekma family greatly appreciates the generosity of everyone who donated!
On another note, anyone who knows anything about the Parise’s , knows how much they respect the veterans of this country . On Sunday the team had the pleasure to meet 11 veterans from Walter Reed Army Medical Center. They were hosted for the day by Quartermasters Racing. “The veterans spent some time in our pit,” Stated Andrew. “We enjoyed talking with them. They were cheering us on. It was an honor for us.”

PARISE RACING HEADS TO POD WITH MORE THAN RACING ON THEIR MINDS.....
Parise Racing is heading to Maryland International Raceway to participate in the Pro Outlaw Doorslammers race, on September 6th .Dina ‘the Chef’ Parise in her ‘63 Tim McAmis Corvette and Andrew ‘Bam Bam’ Parise in his ’53 Montana Bros. Corvette. Dina and Andrew are ready to race, but they also have another agenda.
Parise Racing has been known for years for its work with Multiple Sclerosis and The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund. None of that has changed.
What has changed is the health of a young girl; the Parise’s have come to learn about. Her name is Sydney Meekma. She is the niece of a friend, and she is in for the fight of her life. Sydney is 5 years old and in June was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). Unfortunately, this is her second battle with cancer. Since her diagnosis in June, Sydney has undergone several rounds of aggressive chemotherapy and received a bone marrow transplant. The cost of these procedures is only partially covered by insurance.
Sydney’s family and friends have joined together organizing Sydney’s Butterfly Wishes Benefit (an actual benefit to be held in January, 2010).All proceeds will help manage current and ongoing medical costs. Parise Racing will be collecting donations at MIR on September 6th during the POD race. Please stop by the pit area to make a donation. If you will not be attending the race , donations may be sent directly to: P.O. Box 2456 Orland Park, IL 60462. All donations will be deposited directly into the Sydney’s Butterfly Wishes account of First United Bank. As we all know, these are tough economic times. Your donation is greatly appreciated.
Download the Sydney's Butterfly Wishes flyer HERE.
A special thanks to Pro Outlaw Doorslammers (POD), Maryland International Raceway (MIR), and Quartermasters Racing Team. All have been cooperative in helping the Parise’s organize this benefit.
See you at the races !
As always the Parise’s would like to thank NGK and Good Year for their support.
Parise Racing Headed to VMP
Parise Racing is gearing up for a double header (of sorts) at Virginia Motorsports Park this coming weekend.
Coming off of the disappointment of the Northeast Outlaw Pro Mod Assoc. event, Dina ‘The Chef’ Parise‘s ’63 Tim McAmis Corvette is repaired, tuned and ready to go. If you recall, she broke in the first round of qualifying and that was it for her for the day.
Friday August 28, 2009 is ladies night. As are most Friday nights at VMP. On this Friday, Dina will be taking on Ken ‘the Kid ‘Walsh in a match race.”It should be quite a show.” stated Dina “Ken and I have known each other for a few years from Super Chevy. This will be our first time being paired up. I’m looking forward to it. He is a great competitor.” Ken is the 2008 Super Chevy Show Aeromotive Nitro Coupe Champion.
On Saturday the 29th, both Andrew ‘Bam Bam’ Parise (in his ’53 Montana Bros. Corvette) and Dina ‘The Chef’ Parise will be participating in Night of Thrills (at VMP as well)! Come to VMP and see racing, hear live music and much more!
Always remember that every ticket is a pit pass! Not only is a Night of Thrills, but it is a Military appreciation night! To honor our Military, anyone with a D.O.D. ID card gets in free! Be sure to stop by the Parise Racing pit area to see the Military tributes on both cars and meet the drivers. “Coming from a Military background myself, I have profound respect for our Military personnel.”, stated Andrew “ My wife and I always feel it is important to recognize our soldiers past and present.”
Hope to see you there!

ANDREW PARISE TAKES THE WIN AT NORTHEAST OUTLAW PRO MOD ASSOC. EVENT
Andrew Parise and the Parise Racing team were noticed at the Northeast Outlaw Pro Mod Association event at MIR this past weekend.
Andrew celebrated his 41st birthday on Friday, and the gifts kept coming, this one in the form of a win light.
“I was mainly trying to keep focused. I had to leave my problems from last week’s POD event behind. I did not want to let my team down again”, stated Andrew “We have been working hard all year, and we deserve a good result.”
Not all results were good for the Parise Racing team this weekend. Dina Parise went out in the first round of qualifying due to engine failure. “After completing my burnout, I could not get my ’63 Tim McAmis Corvette into reverse.”, stated Dina . “I shut the car down, and they pushed me back. We realized there was fluid on the track. So, we went back to the pits and assessed the damage. It was not good news. My day was over. But, we are a two car team and we support each other. Now my energy goes to concentrating on Andrew. ”
Andrew’s ’53 Montana Bros. Corvette qualified #2. That put him against Scott Cannon Jr. in the first round of eliminations. A 6.200 @ 227.04 MPH to a 6.288 @220.98 MPH.
Second round of eliminations, Andrew faced his friend and the owner of Performance Auto Crafters Barney Squires. The very person who sprayed the amazing paint schemes on both Parise Racing cars. Andrew blew Barney’s ‘door’ off (literally it flew off!). Still it was a great race. A 6.163 @227.11 MPH to a 6.394 @ 226.24 MPH .
The final round Andrew faced Tim O’Hare. It pitted ERD power against ERD power. The end result was a 6.158 @ 228.31 MPH to a 6.383 @ 224.21 MPH. Andrew takes the win!
“It was a great day! “, stated Andrew “This was a tough field today. I was up against some of the best drivers I know. Scott Jr., Barney and Tim, it was some great racing. It was great to get the win for myself and for the team; my wife Dina, Crew chief Dave Jordan, the crew Charlie Saccoccio and Bandon Page. Northeast Outlaw Pro Mod Association is a top notch organization that puts on a first rate show. There was unbelievable attendance until the wee hours of the morning! It was good to have Nick Montana (MBRC) on hand to help out and to see the first win. I also want to Thank NGK and GoodYear for their support. ”

Parise Racing exits early at POD 
Parise Racing attended the POD race at Virginia
Motorsports Park this past weekend.” It was a great day
of racing”, stated Andrew Parise. “Maurice Bea of POD
runs a great organization; every thing was on time and
run in professional fashion. “
After struggling
with her ’63 Tim McAmis Corvette at Maple Grove last
month, Dina Parise qualified #3 with a 4.15 at 156.50
mph. She could not better her time in the second
qualifying round and dropped to #7. “The car was working
great this weekend. It felt good to finally get the out
there, and not struggle with it. ”, stated Dina.
After non qualifying time in his first qualifying round
due to tire shake, Andrew came back to qualify #2
with a 4.09 at 175.30 mph in his ’53 Montana Bros.
Corvette.
In round one of eliminations, Andrew
had his career worst red light and handed the win over.”
I was having a red light weekend; it was just a bad
weekend for me”, stated Andrew, “ Now it is just time to
regroup and go on to the next race”
Dina ran
a career 1/8 mile best of 4.104 at 177.46 mph, but she
left the tree late, very late.” I had issues with the
tree but I am happy with the ET”, stated Dina, “It was
frustrating to go out first round, but I am over it and
ready for next week. For one thing though, we really
felt let our crew down”, stated Dina,” Our crew chief,
Dave Jordan did his job and we did not do ours. “
“We would like to thank Dave Jordan for all he does for
us. Dave has to travel back and forth to and from New
York and leave his new wife, Bambi at home”, stated
Andrew, “We want them to know, and we appreciate the
sacrifice.”
Next, Parise Racing will be
attending the North East Pro Mod Association August 15th
at MIR.

PARISE RACING HEADS TO VMP FOR
PRO OUTLAW DOORSLAMMERS !!
Parise
Racing left Super Chevy at Maple Grove with mixed
emotions. But as they say, “that’s Drag Racing”. So now
it is on to Virginia Motorsports Park and POD. It is a
new week and a new race. This will be the first POD race
for Parise Racing.
“I have put the troubles of Maple Grove behind me”, stated Dina. “If you let it get to you, you’re sunk. We will get this ’63 Tim McAmis , ERD powered Corvette down the track , and we will put a good number on the board.”
Andrew Parise’s ’53 Montana Bros
Corvette performed well at Maple Grove.”We still feel we
are not quite where we want to be “, stated Andrew “but
we have come a long way. Our crew Chief Dave Jordan is
the best there is. He always does a great job. ”
With Parise Racing, competition goes
to a whole different level!
This husband vs. wife rivalry not only makes them
unique, but it also pushes both of them to be the very
best competitors they can be. That alone is worth the
price of admission! Who are you rooting for?
To cheer on your favorite Parise
Racing driver, you can find them at POD on Saturday,
August, 8th at Virginia Motorsports Park.
Gates open at 9:00 am. Come by the pit area and see both
Corvettes up close! See you at the races!
Thank You to:

Parise Racing attended its first Super Chevy Show at Maple Grove, with their 53’ and 63’ Pro Mods. “We love Super Chevy at the Grove!”, stated Dina Parise. “From Bracket Racing to Pro Mods it came full circle, right at this very track. It’s fantastic!”
three
Vietnam Veterans in their hospitality and pit area all
day Saturday. A special ‘Thank you‘ to Super Chevy as
well as announcer Jerry Daisy for his outstanding
dedication, as all three gentlemen were introduced to a
packed house. The
background on these gentlemen is amazing. Parise Racing
was proud to recognize their years of sacrifice, service
and dedication.
The rivalry between Andrew and Dina
was on going all weekend. “Even though it was only
exhibition, I knew I had to be on my game”, stated
Andrew Parise.
“My wife is very competitive and takes this very
seriously, and if I lost I would never have heard the
end of it. And,
from what I heard I wasn’t getting good odds”, stated
Andrew.” When
Jerry Daisy started to ask the crowd who they were
rooting for, I could hear in the car that it wasn’t me”.
The
53’ Montana Brothers Corvette, with ERD Carl Spiering
power ran a .986 , 60 foot with a 6.20 at 226 mph in the
¼. “The car
felt great going down the track. It has taken some time
with the Bruno setup but it is paying off”, stated
Andrew.
“Our Crew Chief, Dave Jordan has done a great job of
tuning the car. I want to thank him for a job well done!
I also want to welcome Brandon Page to our team. He did
an outstanding job this weekend as well!”
“It
was a tough weekend for me”, stated Dina. My 63’ Tim
McAmis Corvette was not cooperating and kept driving to
the left. Our Crew Chief, Dave Jordan did everything
possible to fix the problem but we just couldn’t get it
fixed in time,” stated Dina.
“I gave it my best shot each time. I really
wanted to win. The third race, I did catch Andrew at
about the 330 or so but had to lift due to it going left
again. Andrew had to pedal it as well as he got loose
too. I later found out that he saw me coming up on him
and got nervous. My
best 60 ft. was a .994 using our ERD Carl Spiering power
.The rivalry between us is growing. I plan on taking the
win light from Andrew shortly.”
Parise Racing would like to Thank:
NGK, Good Year, ERD and Tim McAmis.
Parise Racing would also like to
mention: Super
Chevy, Fiore Bros. Racing, Broken Arrow Racing, and F1
Hospitality.
From Super Comp bracket racing to Pro
Mod heads up racing. It has come full circle. For Dina
and Andrew Parise, this is going to be a real knock down
drag out, fight to the finish…as they say.
They are going
back to where it all began. Maple Grove Super Chevy is
where Dina first watched Andrew race his 1967 blown Camaro. It is where she got
the ‘bug’. It is where Andrew first unveiled the 53 Corvette Pro
Mod paint scheme. It is also where Dina first ran the same 1967
blown Camaro Andrew once ran.
It has now come full
circle. No more bracket racing. Pure heads up, run what you
brung racing! Now
it is time for these two drivers to go head to head in an
exhibition race. Let’s
call it what it is, its double trouble.
It has been overheard in the pits that Crew
Chief Dave Jordan has rented a getaway vehicle. He is not yet
sure whom he will be running from, that remains to be seen.
So come and watch Parise Racing at the Super Chevy Show! Check the EVENTS tab for more information.
Whether you are involved in the
sport of Drag Racing or not, you can definitely see the
correlation between high powered race cars and all types
of aircraft.
This Memorial Day weekend, Parise
Racing took time out to slow down and recognize Memorial
Day for what it is all about.
Parise Racing spent Saturday and Sunday of Memorial Day weekend at the American Airpower Museum in Farmingdale, NY. Rather than a garage, the Pro Mods were displayed in a hangar along with historic American Military aircraft.
While the two days could be
emotional at times, it was quite rewarding for the team
as well. In the midst of honoring the fallen heroes of
the U.S. military, the team met a few service men and
women currently serving. Their appreciation for the
paint schemes on the Tim McAmis 63 Vette and the Montana
Bros. 53 Vette was far out-weighed by our appreciation
for what they have sacrificed for this country. The same
goes for the many other veterans the team had the honor
to speak to over the two days.
We want to thank them ALL for their service and
sacrifice.
The team got up close and personal
with the A-10 East Demonstration team and the A-10
Thunderbolt ll . This aircraft makes exceptional aerial
maneuvers. This Air Force Aircraft is designed for close
air support of ground forces.
The team was very accessible and gave a tour of
the aircraft. In turn, their team was given a tour of
the Pro Mods! There was talk of a race down the
tarmac……….
Taking part in the festivities was
one of the original ‘Rosie the Riveters’.
She and others
played a big role in building the A-10 right here on
Long Island, NY. Although her given name is Josephine,
she says you can call her Rosie. Listening to her recall
stories of women being test pilots for the aircraft due
to the men being overseas at war was amazing. Did you
know that women were the ones who built the planes, but
never received credit until recently? Or that they were
too young to have a driver’s license, but they could fly
a plane? They are the unsung heroes.
The ‘Freedoms Flying Memorial’
Marine Helicopter Squadron 361 was also on hand. They
were gracious enough to let us take photos with the
cars. This helicopter is a traveling museum itself. They
rely completely on donations, and what they can afford
on their own. It was found in a junkyard and brought
back to life. Very impressive.
Lastly the team would like to
acknowledge the Warbirds over Long Island and Chris
Baranakas. Chris flies a p-51 Mustang and his Dad Bob
flew a P-40 ‘Warhahawk’ ,the very aircraft that inspired
the paint scheme for the 53 Vette.
Bob was killed in April when his
plane crashed while performing maneuvers on Long Island.
Since recently losing his
‘wingman’, Chris has still persevered and continued the
presentation of these World War ll aircraft. He is
continuing his father’s passion to keep the public in
touch with our heritage, the fighters that were flown
and the men and women who flew them. Preserving our
nation’s former weapons of war for future generations to
see and learn from is an obligation the Warbirds take
seriously and we are all the better for the work you do.

This edition of Parise Racing news is not going to be
about us, our cars or any new developments in the Parise
Racing program. We felt the need to post a story
relative to what we do, but with no relation to Drag
Racing at all.
While away at our testing session,
I received this e-mail from a very close friend’s son.
His mom and have known each other since grade school.
She is one of the most down to earth, funny and
beautiful people I know. Let me also say, she has a
wonderful family as well. She is battling MS.
As
most of you may know, Parise Racing has been raising
donations and awareness for MS for 5 years now. Within
that time we have learned all too much how this awful
disease hits so close to home.
Below is James’
letter. If you can help, please do.
Hi Everyone,
Hope you don't mind me contacting you, you all know that
my mom has MS. It's something she struggles with every
day, even though when you ask her how she is, she'll
always say she's fine. That's just how my mom is(she
tries to seem macho). Sometimes people ask what they can
do for her, she always says nothing she's fine. But now
you can help her and others with MS. That's why me and
my friends are walking in the MS Walk next Sunday. We
want to help raise money that will find the cure, raise
money that will make advances to help her live her life
better, and other like her. They have already made
progress with MS, like the shots she takes everyday,
that wasn’t always around to help others, but research
helped develop this drug that is keeping my mother
healthier with less problems. With your help, with my
walk, we can help find a cure, or at least ways to help
her live better.
We've only got ONE week left; the MS Walk is next Sunday, May 3rd. So if you can, any little amount you can donate would be great (a lot is good too). Every little bit adds up, that’s how I've already made it 1/2 way to my goal, and my team is busy collecting from their friends and family too. So as a team we're trying to get to our goal.
Please if you can, visit my website at
http://main.nationalmssociety.org/goto/james.morrone
or if you want to send me a check... make it out to
NMSLLI-Walk MS, and mail it to my house before next
Saturday
oh--- if you know of someone you think will
want to check out my website, and/or donate.. Please fwd
this to them too!
Thanks Everyone, I hope can count on your support!

With this latest edition to the engine program, Parise Racing now runs a 526 ERD Hemi in both the 53 Montana Bros. Corvette and 63 Tim McAmis Corvette Pro Mods. "We feel that ERD and Carl Spiering have a winning combination for us. Both Dina and I are very comfortable with our set ups. It should be a great season," stated Andrew.
Next, was to create a memorable paint scheme for the car. It is not your typical paint scheme and we could only trust one person, Barney Squires at Performance Auto Crafters, in Virginia. This paint scheme will not only look phenomenal, but it will send a message and make the fans think. Racing to win as well as with a purpose, that is what Parise Racing is about as a team.
So, stay tuned to www.pariseracing.com for the latest details! Check back to see the completed paint scheme and for more information.
This is a time for sharing and caring. We would like for the soldiers to know how much we appreciate what they have sacrificed for our freedom and for our country.
Anyone wishing to send cards etc. can send to:

Have A Wonderful Holiday Season!
Dina & Andrew Parise
Andrew is driving the Montana Bros. built 1953 Corvette , powered by a 526 Hemi from ERD , Carl Speiring." It was a great site to see", stated Dina Parise. "It was wonderful to see the car on the track, and to see Andrew behind the wheel again was even better. We have worked on this program for a long time and it finally paid off "
Dina is driving her Tim McAmis 1963 Corvette. " We had the nerves going. It is a big step going from a bracket car running low 9's to a Pro Mod, but I know my wife. As a former professional figure skater she has determination and the mind set to succeed ," stated Andrew. " Dina had a lot to learn , and she was like a sponge . From the start up to burnouts she did a awesome job. With the couple days of testing she proved to everyone she is going to be a great driver ."
The Parise Racing program is constantly changing for the better and it could not be accomplished without ERD, Carl Speiring, Terry and Rob. " I know we made the right choice on working with ERD ", stated Andrew. " Carl is consulting for the team as well as having built the 526 Hemi in the '53. He and his team will continue to work closely with Parise Racing . "
Parise Racing has had many positive changes to the team. Another positive change is the addition of Dave Jordan as Crew Chief." Dave was on hand during our testing and was right at home with the Pro Mods as well as the team ", stated Dina. " It was great to have Dave at the test session . Getting him acclimated to the cars and the team was very important for all of us ", stated Andrew. " We wanted someone with experience and a good attitude running our cars . Dave fit what we were looking for and we couldn't be happier ."
Parise Racing has made many positive changes and is anticipating the 2009 season.
Dina and Andrew would like to thank :
Carl, Terry and Rob from ERD for awesome engine program and more than anything , keeping us safe.
Dave Jordan for coming on as Crew Chief and getting to work as fast as he did
Charlie Saccoccio, AKA Uncle Mel, who was on his game all three days of testing.

On July 20th at the Super Chevy Show event in Maple Grove, the 67 camaro saw the race track for the last time . This was a great race car but it is time to put her back on the street and do some cruising. The camaro was first driven by Andrew Parise then Dina Parise and has been through many changes. With numerous engine explosions, a couple of transmissions and one fire she has earned her retirement.
With the camaro retired Dina has moved on to a 1963 Blown Corvette Pro Mod built by Tim McAmis. Tim McAmis Race Cars did a great job on the car . Fitting a small driver was no easy task and posed some issues, but the team at Tim McAmis got the job done.www.timmcamis.com .
Both Andrew and Dina are very competitive people. With two Pro Mods in the family, next season should be exciting , to say the least!
