So I'm in NYC, Times Square, eating at a restaurant by myself. I'm in town for the NASCAR Banquet. I am minding my own business and out comes Justin and his girlfriend. I think to myself, "That looks like Justin. Holy S*^& it is!" He sees me and we do the normal greetings (shake hands, hug, look at his pretty girl) and see how each other is doing. Then they proceed to invite me to see a musical, Wicked. I'm floored! This musical is sold out until next year, and has gotten rave reviews, so of course I want to go! We get my Sushi to go and run to the theater! Great play and great company. What are the odds that I would run into him? As big as that place is?! Incredible! Justin is a great guy and was always fun to be around. He wants to come race again, AA Pro, but I told him to race Vet, it'd be more fun! Well, I just wanted to let everyone know he's still around!

I've known Justin since his early teen years at Shoreham, NY. I haven't seen him in 2 years now... It was cool to see how good he got in this sport!

Saw him here at nova bmx a couple years ago. Dude was fast. Really fast.

He was there @ NOVA last year...going pretty fast, if I recall he won one day! Justin is a nice guy though. Spent several race nights at bars laughing my *** off at him talk'n sheet to the ladies.......Maybe he will start coming around more.

i see justin all the time, he hangs around shoreham for most practices, its pretty cool we have Justin, Harley Kelly, Kelly Kelly, Steve Boyle all hangin around helping the young guys,

John

Wow haven't heard those names in awhile Iv'e been away for awhile and to hear these guys still riding and helping the younger guys is awesome! Seeing craig on nascar nation [the episode with craig on the track]sparked a long lost flame inside me so now I'm building my last bike that I raced which I'm half way there.It was a Badd & company .

I remember him when he worked at holbrook bike,he came to my home track at nokomis school rode my brand new cycle craft,I was 12 he told me I should cut down my Fred z bars they were to wide

More names to throw around Ronnie gaska, Matt sylva'Barry Mcmanus, John Badessa

Justin raced the Freedom national at Virginia (Won on Sunday) and the Bethel National last year.

i see barry mcmanus from time to time i think he lives in warasaw indiana he came to the track in fort wayne a few times i think he got married not to long ago. what about scott yoqulet (sorry spelling) i see him quite a bit and he is still riding good to i might add.

Jason Richardson introduced Justin to me at
the Fallnationals at Del Mar a few years ago.

Said he was gonna possibly stay with J-Rich
for a little while here in San Diego.

I invited him to come to some clubs I DJ at.
He never moved out here.

Super cool guy.

Hey Johnny...he moved out for a little while but the supply of QCL's (questionable charactered ladies) started to run low so he moved back!

I havent been a bike since 94 But when my build is done I will be at my local track. My racing career got cut short due to severed tendon in my knee it was almost 2 years until I could bend my knee enough to ride around the block I was robbed and its been bothering me my whole life ! Bmx has left a competitve drive in me I try to be the best I can in everything I do. Kids these days need bmx in there lives to keep them out of trouble J.Novo
