Here are a couple shots of Red at Beaver Springs. The photo of Red to the left was him tuning the Vette at our "Membership Drive" Garage Club meeting in June of '07.

The car was painted by another GC member, Frank Tankalavage, when he had his business at "F&W Body Shop" in Williamstown, PA.

Red drives this car everywhere. To the left are some more action shots of Red at Beaver Springs Dragway. Red drove the car to a test day that we all attended and put on quite the show for us. Heck, it even rained out later in the day and he drove it back home in the bad weather.

Here, Red has his hands full trying to keep the car straight as he does his warm up. He came to realize by seeing these pictures that he had too low of an air pressure in his tires. Click images below for a full sized view.

This picture was taken at the Mean Streets at Beaver and the bottom picture was a Friday Night at Beaver Springs Dragway. The Corvette is brought to life by a stroked small block coming to 383 cubes. This is backed by a turbo 350 transmission and a 3:73 ratio out the back.




This picture was taken at Red's place during our September meeting. Red just picked it up in August 2007. It's a nice, clean, and very straight cruiser with a 396 big block, custom paint, and custom interior. Red showed me that he got a lot of information with it on tri-5s to help him keep it up and running.

The power plant looks pretty good. Red didn't give us many details abolut what was done to it and he hasn't gotten to the track with it yet, so no times or speed to relay. I'll keep you posted as I get details.
