Red goes back a long way. Loved sitting around listening to the stories.

Back in 2000 "Red" and I ran neck and neck for the GLSCS Boat Whore award, he won by racing in 4 differant boats the same season to my 3. That was a great party.

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. :drink:

For anyone that cares or is interested. I am currently good friends with Red, He just won his 50th checkered flag, throttling Crazy Rythm in the St Clair Riverfest On 7/28/24. He was also inducted into the Michigan Motorsports Hall of Fame November of 2023.
