Parente is no stranger to Australian Pro Stock having raced considerably in the 1990s and 2000s. However, once the South Australian tracks began to close, Parente parked his operation to focus on business interests that included retail gas sales and automated car washes. He also remained close to the sport through building engines and a dyno-tuning business.
With his sons Silvio, Michael, and Christian, beginning to take an active role in the team, Gerry and wife Mary are prepared to have fun again as a family.
