Scott's father raced all types of vehicles, drag boats, sand rails, and cars. These experiences made a major impression on Scott and he couldn't wait to be old enough to drive. When he was old enough, he got heavy into off-road motorcycles then when he got his driver's license all bets were off.  Scott forgot about racing motorcycles and went all in and started racing cars. The first car he raced wasn't car at all, it was a 1975 Chevy van. But this wasn't  any old worn out work van. This van belonged to Scott's father, it featured  a destroked 400 cube small-block built by Scott's Dad, it's backed up with a TH-400 automatic transmission and a narrowed 12-bolt rear end. Scott said it was fun ride for his first car, and when he graduated high-school his father gave it to him.   The father and son

Screw Products and F.K. bearings in two separate buildings that were approximately 36,000 square feet combined. In 1999 they formed Fragola Performance Systems after many of their customers kept inquiring why they didn’t manufacture fittings for the racing industry. They are now housed in a 80,000 square foot building with 35 employees .Their sister company F.K. Bearings is across the street from them with their own 80,000 square foot building with 55 employees.
