Quotes about Zack

"Tom Donatti came to the Finishline Quarter Midget School in April of 2002.  His driver Zack had crashed every week and was last in points.  To say both father and driver were devastated, was an under statement.  Kristal and I started working on driving style, chassis setup and the attitudes of both the driver and crew chief.  Zack is now the most feared Quarter Midget driver competing in Central Florida.  He won the JR. Honda Track Championship at New Smyrna Speedway.  At the 44th running of the Tangerine Bowl he set fast time out of 39 competitors.  Zack won both heat races and finished 5th in the A main- he would have won the Grand Finale but he was  forced to the pits with a flat tire.  I am really looking forward to working with Donatti Racing in 2003.  Zack is a Natural born racer.  He has that seat of  the pants feel that it takes to win."

Chief Instructor of FinishLine Quarter Midget School

"Zack has progressed greatly in the past year and become a champion. I am confident that Zack will do an outstanding job in the Light 160 class in 2003. He has the desire to accomplish what he sets out to do. I always enjoy when Zack comes to talk to me , because he has such a wonderful personality and is certainly one of the top young racers out at Little New Smyrna."

" I have known Zack Donatti for approximately 5 years.  He is a very polite and talented young man.  He has been participating at Sandspur Riding Club since he was 3 years old.  He shows good sportsmanship and has become a great competitor. He has won numerous awards due to his riding ability and his participation in club activities.  Zack and his family are always willing to lend a helping hand if needed.  Tom, Tish and Zack have been a great asset to the Sandspur Riding Club."

Rodney Davidson

 "Little Donatti has come a long way, from his high spirited pony named "Hot Shot" to Gray Quarterhorse "Kash"  winning everything through the season.  We love watching Zack collect and sign for his checks beating out all of us adults.  A world winning smile and great competitor and fantastic little helper.  Little Zack, we wish you the best and all our love and luck throughout the years to come..."

"Zack Donatti is our little superstar we've watched him grow throughout the years from a pony to the stout big horse named Kash.  The perfect matched team.  He's a great person and rider always eager to help and loves the competition.  We wish him the best and look forward to every show he rides. Lots of luck."

Brett Monroe and The NBHA Gang
 

"I have had the pleasure and honor of working with Zack for two years now.  He came to me fresh out of kindergarten and was under my wing until the end of the second grade.  Not only did Zack grow physically, but academically and socially.  He always worked hard, took pride in his work, and was eager to learn.  When I see Zack on the school campus, he stops to give me a hug.  I only wish that I could keep him, but we both know life goes on.  I am proud of the fine young man Zack is growing up to be...and did I mention that he is kind, cute, and precious too?  I hope he remembers me when I am old and gray.  I certainly will never forget him!"
