Your student,

Be nice or I will pull your library card & make you and ironhead stand in the corner. After spending last Sunday at Reds house, I'm just not feeling a good Red story yet.

Took both pic's at the same time at Sun UP Marina race around 1979. Thats Darrell in the Maverick bilge. Back them Louie [Miss Gallo] use many different engines combinations & local engine builders not having much luck.. Eventually I think he used KS&W..

Your student,

Red started racing on Lake St Clair in a 22'Chris Craft XK Crain Mutiny around 1974. By the late 70's Red would be a crew member in the Maverick with Steve Baum, winning the worlds in 1979 in sport class. Some of the other teams Red has raced with over the years are Lew Cooper's Miss Gallo, Gary Stuewe's Nasty. Red can even be credited with giving Bob Kaiser a start in Reds rent a ride Active cat.

Red has been around for A LOOOONG time. My mother worked with his sister in Key West when I was young. He also raced in Skater Express, Race Rock, Cayo MoTown, Cat Can Do, Geo Dynamic Industries, Daddy Cool Too, and many more.
