I have watched Anthony a few times at Fontana during practice days. I've seen him run under 130's which is wicked fast for a 2.36 mile 19 turn track, that really is not a real racing track. The track is a Joke as far as traction and flow, it's a total slip n slide on most of the turns. He broke the record time with a 125. on an R7, I think sometime in about 2002/03.
Anthony was out partying, drinking with some friends of mine that I usually saw or rode the canyon every Sunday with, or raced at Willow with once a month. There was an AMA race that weekend at Fontana I believe, the subject of Anthony comes up. This is Sunday morning at about 8am at the Lookout on Ortega HWY 74. The AMA race is in a few hours and we are all going to a Bar and Grill to watch the races. We have all just heard last night that Erion Racing has dumped Anthony without any explanation. He was supposed to be racing today, without any explanation from Erion we were all puzzled. So, one of my friends says Anthony got arrested, he says he and a couple of the other guys were out at a bar with him and when Anthony left, he got pulled over on the way home. One of my other friends standing there said, Anthony called him yesterday morning, Saturday. Said he needs help to get Bailed! This friends dad is the Chief of Huntington Beach Police Dept. Anthony was arrested in H.B. Friend goes and Bails him, but Anthony was not DUI alcohol only, I will leave it at that. Anthony never returned to race again in the states that I know of. I think this was about 2004/5. Sad, the guy had such incredible abilities.
R.I.P Anthony
