Jack Reome, what can I say, one of the most dedicated and nicest racers one could ever meet in the sport of drag racing.

In the sport for about 14 years, Jack has more than one tale to tell about encounters down the asphalt gauntlet, always with a pleasant demeanor as one listens to all the riveting details.

Working out of Cortland, New York at his own business, Reome Renovating, Jack's car, a '97 S&W Dragster powered by a worked over 565 BB Chevy runs a best 5.07 at 136 MPH here at Skyview.

With his talented crew chief, Dana Christy checking every aspect of the car, equipment and overall setup, his son, Cody Reome watches with much interest and star-struck awe as he absorbs every detail of drag racing in his young mind.

His sponsor, Reome Renovating helps allow Jack, his family and crew, make it to each race date around the area. "Skyview is a great place," says Jack," but what makes this place really standout is all the great people that come here to race and have fun." The keyword here is fun, as Jack gives me the thumbs up as he suits up for another run down Skyview Drags!
