The Back Story:
Most will recognize the gentleman
in these pictures as the man responsible for sending more drivers to victory
lane than we will ever remember with his high powered Denny’s race engines. We are talking of course of Valley legend
Denny Raspuzzi, who built the winning engines in
every division that competed at Lebanon Valley, from the street stock
division, to the 70’s & 80s sportsman/358 modifieds/LV
sportsman and the Modified division. Here Denny is seen
