3-2-1...DRIFT!

MIKE GALLO Happy belated turkey day!

This past Thanksgiving I had the pleasure of visiting a small event put on by GIG Motorsports, runned by Anthony Richie. He runs a drift school and driving course down in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. On this particular day, Anthony had a few of his guys come down with their drift cars to let loose on this cold day. Anthony actually paid for the rental of the facility out of his own pocket as a gift for the guys and girls to come and let loose. I was in awe watching some of these young men and women drifting their cars at high rates of speed. While still maintaining control

of their cars, the back tires sent plumes of smoke into the air. There were also some guys doing

random donuts and peeling out and just having fun in a controlled environment. It’s nice to see all these people not risking getting hurt or hurting others while having fun in a legal manner.

One of Anthony’s guys recently just turned pro in drifting. I was watching him make runs and he was absolutely incredible. Honestly, it looked like so much fun. I wanted to try it but of course didn’t due to me not having my car with me and the lack of common sense.

Anthony also runs the Autocross up there which would seem like a lot of fun. I’m thinking of giving it a try and you should also. If you’re interested, you can contact Anthony at GIGmotorsports@ gmail.com or give him a call at 401-255-5834. You can also visit their website GIGmotorsports.com.

Let them know you saw the article in Motorhead Magazine and you’d like to give it a try.

Now it’s time for me to get back to watching these guys. Hope you give it a try.

Until then, peace out Motorheads.

MIKE GALLO

RAUH-Welt

What’s RUAH WELT mean you ask? It means rough world. And RWB is basically a single man named Nakai San. He is a visionary in his craft of building some of the most badass Porsche cars in the world. I have always loved his cars in the way that they stand and perform. Nakai San builds these cars all himself. He has the body kits built and they are all handmade by one person in Japan.

And only Nakai installs them on his customers cars.

Now I’m sure you’re wondering, how does he build these cars all over the world? Well once you order his kit and wheel package for a certain amount of money, he flies out to you anywhere in the world and will install the kit, set up the suspension and get the car going.

And every car he names personally which is a nice touch.

But there is one catch, he will only build one car per customer and he is booked solid years in advance. If you ever wanted to see exactly what he does, you could find him all over the Internet and especially on YouTube.

All you have to do is Google RWB Porsche and you will witness him building all sorts of different Porsches for different customers.Wouldn’t it be great to have a one-off car customized to your liking that looked like and performed like no one else’s?

One of the cars that has eluded me is the Porsche.

Hopefully at some point in my life, I’ll get to own one and maybe be able to afford his services to have him customize it for me.

Nakai San doesn’t think of his work as a job but he considers it his passion and he gets to do what he loves. And it shows in the perfection that he accomplishes in putting these cars together. So for now, I’ll dream and wish and we shall see what will happen. Rough world... ain’t that the truth?

CAR SHOW NATIONALS

JIM WEICHERDING

His name is Mike Linner. He started his website www.carshownationals.com in 2001. His goal was to have an online car show. That never became a reality.

Mike then shifted gears and decided to advertise car show flyers for free around the United States. Over the years, the website continued to grow and Mike started to get celebrities in the car world following what he was doing on his website.

Mike had a car customizer named Ed Golden reach out to him and wanted to work with him at last years SEMA Show in Las Vegas. He revealed a truck for Dave Turin. Dave was on the show Goldrush aired on the Discovery Channel.

Ed, himself, had been a guest on Overhaulin with Chip Foose and Jay Leno and has a custom shop in New York, called “Golden Customs”. After the 2018 SEMA Show success they were joined by Maya Sieber from Ice Road Truckers aired on the Discovery Channel.

2019 projections include:

So, he decided to share what the celebrities were doing in the car world thru his website too.

Starting an online video car show.

In the meantime, his website was gaining a major presence online and Mike decided to use that website to help others. He had celebrities sharing and helping send items for charity projects that he came across online.

Starting an Automotive T-Shirt Company.

Mike did many charity events starting out with a mother reaching out to him early on. Her name is Becky Crim. Her son Grant, had brain cancer 3 times. She wanted to have a little car show. Mike said, “why have little car show, why not have a big car show?” He worked coordinating this upcoming event with this little boy’s mom for almost a year messaging each other almost every night going over the details. They ended up getting show cars from 5 states to attend their car show. The car show was held in Oregon and they even had a Batmobile come all the way from New Mexico.

Coolest part about this story is that Grant is almost blind and he got to drive the Batmobile down the dragway.

Starting a new motorcycle website http://www.motorcycleshow.us/

Starting a podcast with automotive related guests from TV and the automotive industry calledCarshownationals.com Let’s Roll!

Facebook: Motorhead Magazine

Mike has also showed up at a car guy’s cancer benefit that he never met, but wanted to help out at the event. He brought a bunch of autographed stuff for his silent auction.

Mike also helped a family who lost their house to a fire right before Christmas. Their family ended up being adopted from the great people at Boston Scientific.

Mike has shared many disasters that involved car people via social media. From the tornadoes in Oklahoma to the hurricane in Houston. Car people host car shows to support those disasters.

Mike would ask celebrities like Goldberg and Dave Kindig and Shag from Martin Brothers Customs the guys at Shift And Steer media to help out and they have shared causes on their own social media. Jeff Allen has also been a great supporter of what Mike does for charity causes.

Mike had a big opportunity to be a media member at a place called the Automotorplex in Chanhassen, Minnesota. He took the opportunity to cover a United Way event for the Automotoplex sponsored by 3M. It featured Chip Foose and Barry Meguiar. Mike was able to shoot an hour and a 1/2 video of Chip drawing a car for the United Way. It really took his website to another level.

Mike hosted a car show for a boy with congenital heart defects for 2 years in a row. A lot of other groups and car people wanted to do something so he also decided to help. It was the first car show that he ever hosted. Mike Learned a lot from doing that event. 126 show cars attended the 1st year and helped raised $5,500.

TRANS AM: EARLY YEARS The ‘Trans-Am series’ is an automobile racing series that was created in 1966

by Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) President John Bishop. Originally known as the Trans-American Sedan Championship, the name was changed to the Trans-American Championship for 1967 and henceforth. The series has in fact gone by a variety of different names through the years (too many to list), some linked to sponsors, some not. It has evolved over time from its original format as a Manufacturers’ Championship series for modified passenger sedans and Coupés to its current form as a Drivers’ / Manufacturers’ Championship Series that is open to GT style racecars. Champion drivers have been officially recognized, and Drivers’ Championship(s) have been awarded since the 1972 season.

The series was formed at the dawn of the ‘pony car’ era, and was derived from the SCCA’s A & B Sedan amateur Club Racing classes, Early Trans-Am Series racecars were just modified production cars. The series was open to FIA Group 2 Touring Cars, and it featured two classes: “Over 2.0 Liter”—111 inch wheel base or less and engine displacement limited to 5.0 liters / 305 cubic inches (primarily American pony cars), and “Under 2.0 Liter” (predominantly European sedans), with both classes running together.

The series was best known for competition among American V8 coupes such as the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro, Plymouth Barracuda, Mercury Cougar, AMC Javelin, Pontiac Firebird, and Dodge Challenger in the 1960s

Britain gave full factory support to the Alan Mann Lotus Cortinas. In 1966, the Over 2.0 Liter Manufacturers’ Champion was Ford, and the Under 2.0 Liter Manufacturers’ Champion was Alfa Romeo, with Horst Kwech and Gaston Andrey’s Alfa Romeo GTA scoring 39 of the 57 Manufacturers’ points for Alfa.

For 1967, in the Over 2.0 Liter class, Ford edged out Mercury for its second Manufacturers’ Championship. Porsche successfully lobbied the SCCA to reclassify the 911 as a sedan, and then went on to dominate the Under 2.0 Liter field, winning the first of ultimately three consecutive Manufacturers’ Championships over Alfa Romeo. The second season would see the emergence of now familiar names like Mark Donohue (3 wins, 2 of them without a co-driver) and Dan Gurney.

The Golden Era (1968–1972) The 1968 season was notable for the addition of the 12 Hours of Sebring and the 24 Hours of Daytona, the only year the Trans-American Championship featured those races. The ‘68 season also marked the first time the series ever left the United States, as the race at Mont-Tremblant, Quebec introduced Trans-American Championship racing to Canada. From 1969 on, co-drivers were not used, as most of the races were between 2.5 and 3 hours.

Tommy Kendall owns Trans-Am’s win streak, and consecutive Class Championships records

and early 1970s, driven by some of the most famous names in auto racing, like Mark Donohue, Parnelli Jones, and Bob Tullius, to name just a few.

Marques such as Porsche (until its 911 was reclassified as a sports car and not a sedan), Alfa Romeo, BMW, Datsun, Mini Cooper, Saab, and Volkswagen competed in the series’ Under 2.0 Liter category.

Over the years, the series has raced on a variety of different types of race tracks (Permanent and temporary road courses / street circuits / airport circuits) all over the country, as well as at venues in Canada, Mexico, and even San Juan, Puerto Rico in 2003. Since 2015, Trans Am has been a national series (Continental U.S. only), racing at tracks primarily throughout the East Coast, South, and Midwest. Since the 2017 season, the stand-alone West Coast Championship Series has raced at four tracks—three on the West Coast, and one in Texas that is a ‘shared event’ with the Trans Am Championship Series. Each Championship Series is independent of the other, but both are run according to virtually identical rule books.

The series begins (1966–1967) Kwech/Andrey 1966 Trans Am Championship GTA Kwech / Andrey 1966 Trans-Am Championship Alfa Romeo GTA The Trans-American Sedan Championship commenced on March 25, 1966 at Sebring International Raceway, beginning a 7 race season. (After 1966, seasons would average 12 rounds until 1973) The overall win went to Jochen Rindt driving an Alfa Romeo GTA, a very successful car in Trans Am, until Porsche arrived. Bob Tullius (in a Dodge Dart) took second overall and first in the Over 2.0 Liter class.

Allan Moffat, in a 1600cc Lotus Cortina, won the third race at Bryar. Ford of

Penske Racing campaigned Chevrolet Camaro Z28s through 1969, and American Motors (AMC) Javelins in 1970 and 1971. Mark Donohue dominated the ‘68 season, winning 10 out of 12 races (only one of them with a co-driver), ultimately chalking up 29 race victories from 1967 to 1971, the last 10 of them in a Javelin. He was instrumental in the Trans-Am Series becoming the greatest American Musclecar racing showdown there was in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. After achieving so much success together and popularizing “Trans-Am” (Donohue in particular), Penske Racing and Mark Donohue both left the series after the ‘71 season.

Mark Donohue made the Javelin a three time winner in 1970, but five wins made it Parnelli Jones’ greatest season ever, with Ford winning its’ first Manufacturers’ title in two years. With Porsche’s 911 moving to a 2.2L engine, 1970 also saw the resurgence of Alfa Romeo, dominating the Under 2 Liter class with a 9 win (out of 11) season. BMW picked up wins number one and two in the other races.

As evidence of the original modified production car concept, a fan favorite in the 1971 Trans-American Championship was the “Grey Ghost”, a 1964 Pontiac Tempest, prepared by Pontiac Special Projects Engineering Manager Herb Adams and a group of his young proteges: Tom Nell & Jeff Young (Engines), Joe Brady & Harry Quackenboss (Chassis), Ted Lambaris (Body), and Tom Goad (Logistics). The boxy, six year old Tempest had once been Adams’ wife’s daily driver, and had over 80,000 miles (130,000 km) on the odometer when it was turned into an A Sedan racer. It proved to be surprisingly fast, at a time when even a one year old car was considered out of step with the competition. And despite the big-name competition and factory supported race teams, it was entered in the opening round of the ‘71 Trans-Am Championship. Unable to qualify, the car was allowed to start at the rear of the field. With former winner Bob Tullius behind the wheel, it mowed through the field, and was running second behind eventual winner Mark Donohue’s factory supported Penske Racing AMC Javelin when the engine expired. It was a very impressive performance for a boxy, six year old, converted ‘grocery-getter’ with no factory support.

57 FUNERALS

Mini-Series By JIM WEICHERDING Part 5

Randolph walks into the garage access door and through the exterior hallway leading into the side door entrance of his home with both dogs walking closely behind him. “Quite the mess you boys made for me to clean up.”

He can’t be mad at them. They probably saved his life. Randolph bags all of the broken glass and brings it out to his recyclable garbage container near the garage door.

He isn’t quite finished cleaning his pristine 1957 Chevy parked in his driveway. But, now the front windows of his house need to be replaced.

He measures the inside and outside window frames, writes the dimensions down on a small note pad and begins to walk towards his pick up truck parked next to his ‘57 Chevy. He sees one of the punks cars slowly approaching his house from up the street and stops in his driveway and makes eye contact with the driver, and then his passengers one by one. He smirks a little bit shaking his head from one side to another in disgust.

punks! Move ‘em, or lose ‘em!” The punks just sit in their vehicles smiling at Randolph standing in his driveway next to his Chevy Silverado. “Okay! If that’s how you want to play this game, I’m in!”

Randolph jumps back up into his lifted Chevy truck and lays on the gas pedal. The loud dual exhaust system can be heard blocks away. Randolph puts the shifter in reverse and presses down on the gas pedal. The trucks rear tires begin to spin and sends smoke out into the street covering both vehicles stopped at the end of his driveway. The drivers and passengers begin to cough and can hardly see a thing around them.

Once the smoke clears, the closet vehicle driver to Randolph’s driveway can start to see again and sees the tailgate and chrome bumper of the big Chevy Truck inches from his face in the drivers window. “Damn, Man!” The driver immediately backs up his car and watches as Randolph backs his Chevy Truck out onto the street between his vehicle and his punk buddy’s vehicle. “You are crazy fool!” yells one of the punks from inside his vehicle at Randolph pulling away and headed down his street towards to nearest hardware store. Both vehicles start to follow him. To be continued...

She’s Back! : The 2015 Z28

“What a bunch of losers. Out pedaling their drugs day and night instead of working at a real job and earning an honest living. Creeps!” Randolph hops up into his big Chevy Silverado pick up truck and after buckling his seatbelt, turns the ignition key.

The loud exhaust roars out across the entire neighborhood but he knows it bothers the slime balls that are continuously moving into the neighborhood and pushing honest, hard working families out and away from the rising crime and increased dangerous situation.

His next door neighbor and his family recently moved away because the environment is getting worse for the kids and teens still living there. RanLauryn Pontiac-Vernancio dolph“Hotwheels” doesn’t like it one bit.

JIMMYSPAINTINGRI.COM

By BILL PRATT Since we are in the automotive aftermarket trade, we have the opportunity to attend the big SEMA show in Las Vegas each year. A few weeks ago, I did just that.

It’s a chance to see, in one place, everything from emerging vehicle trends of the future to wild customizations of vehicles from the past.

This year, I went out a day early to attend some of the educational seminars. This is where we get the clearest peek into the future as manufacturers and industry experts share their vision of what will be important to the buying public over the next few years and beyond.

The consensus this year was all about driver aids and vehicle safety systems.

While many new vehicles are coming from the factory with capabilities such as blind-spot detection and even 360-degree visibility, most manufacturers are limiting these features to their highest-end models.

That leaves the mid- to lower-tier new vehicles and all recent model years to the aftermarket.

New federal regulations governing commercial vehicle safety are adding to the number of currently registered vehicles that will need to be updated with things like backup sensors, cameras, surround view systems, motion alarms, and the like.

Companies like Metra Electronics, and many others, are going after that market with innovative new products that can be retrofitted to most vehicles. Some of the new products are really inspired. For example, Metra has (through their iBeam brand) a rear-facing DVR system that sends its display to a replacement rear-view mirror. The result is that the driver sees everything behind him or her without obstructions such as head rests or narrow window openings.

many additional outdoor displays and pavilions full of exhibitors. There are a lot of booths you just have to walk on past because, while interesting, they don’t necessarily fit every business and time is always a factor.

MPE Racing

Traditional truck accessory companies are responding to growing customer demand for more flexibility and functionality by developing new integration between tonneau covers and ladder racks, for example.

Lighting continues to be a major product category with more and more ways to add lights, from accent lights in hood protectors to switches that bring multiple lighting solutions together in a common control panel, to RGB lights of just about every shape and size.

For Jeep enthusiasts, there are the new Putco Luminex tail lights that convert the stock taillights to LED brightness while adding intense reverse light and strobing amber turn signals. Putco hasn’t forgotten truck owners either.

The Blade tailgate light bar is the new standard for brightness and functionality in a traditional form, while the WorkBlade is a quick and easy strobing emergency light bar for work trucks or work vehicles of all shapes and sizes.

It’s not all work, though. This year I crossed paths with Richard Petty (King of Nascar), Cristy Lee and Rachel DeBarros (All Girls Garage on Motor Trend Network), Mike Brewer (Wheeler Dealers), and several other automotive celebrities. I had a good long chat with Rachel and a short chat with Mike. The others were in booths with long lines of fans waiting for a quick photo opportunity and autographed pictures.

We’ve decided that, for us, SEMA will be a bi-annual event so I won’t be heading back until 2020. By then, there will be new trends emerging and the emergent trends from 2018 will either be established and thriving or still trying to break through. But some things won’t change. There will still be innovation, both in the form of new or improved products and with entirely new product categories. And we still won’t be able to cover it all in just four days.

Nomad Time Capsule

By JED GREEKE The second part of our two part series on the 1955 Nomad shows that while Paintworks Unlimited has built a reputation for ourselves for our high end restorations we can keep your ride looking as original as possible while repairing your troubled metal! Patina is king within our culture and many repair their ride and re-create a fake patina. We can repair your metal and let you keep the patina your car has earned.

Chris wanted to keep his dad’s Nomad looking as original as it did 45 years

ago when it was parked. We repaired the areas that had rusted out and feathered in paint to get as close a match as possible to keep the repair work as blended as possible. You can see the results speak for themselves, looking as smooth as when he pulled it out!

I have included a couple of pics of the Nomad when it arrived and the eyebrow repair, can you spot the trunk and side repair? If you’re looking to keep your car original or you seeing troubled spots (blistering paint, fish eyes, etc) and do not want to do a full restoration, give us a call we can fix you up!

Into the Mind of a Street Racer the most notable fast ones was a coral reef 1989 hatchback LX that had a carburetor and nitrous that Dave raced on the street. It took many wins up in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and New York. This car went as fast as 8.50 at 165 miles an hour at New England Dragway.

MIKE GALLO Into the mind of a street racer. Have you ever wondered what makes them tick? The lure of street racing is quite seductive. It’s a mixture of ego, adrenaline and pure excitement. It is taboo in the normal world and many frown upon it. But with good reason as it is very dangerous and has dire consequences.

But with all that said, there are quite a few that still take the risk. In today’s article we will be delving into the mind of a street racer from New Bedford that goes by the name, Nitrous Dave. Dave has been in the sport of drag racing and illegal street racing for more than 32 years. He started street racing at the young age of 16 years old and his first car that he raced was an Escort. Yep, you read that right an Escort.

Not one of Ford’s fastest cars by any stretch of the imagination but that’s what he had and he made

it work. Dave actually milled the cylinder head to bump up the compression to try to make it a little faster. He actually drove it to New England Dragway back in the day and raced it. I’m sure it didn’t set any records but nonetheless he was on his way to street racing.

Fast forward some years and Dave had progressed to owning a bunch of Mustangs. One of

When I asked Dave why he does what he does, he simply replied, it’s in his blood. And I’m sure some of you some of you can share that last statement. Dave has had a few close calls with the law on the street and had to deal with a loss of a dear friend that was street racing. With all that said, he continues to still do it. Now some people will condemn him for it and others reading this article will know exactly where it comes from.

No matter what you do or say, street racing is always going to be a part of the car culture.

Dave will continue to do so until he can’t do it anymore. It’s one of his greatest loves.

The street can be very seductive. Just being able to line up next to somebody on the street or to see who has the fastest car will always be a calling to some of us. Dave will have his haters but he will still press on no matter what. Can you relate to any of this? I know, as a street racer, I can.

The mind set of a street racer, take it or leave it. Love it or hate it, but it’s a real tangible thing.

By RICHARD & LEE HUGHES It all started when my brother and I bought our first car together, a 1952 dark green 4 door Plymouth. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much to look at but it was our first car and it meant something special to us. We drove it to school every day and back home so I could do my paper route. My paper route job is what paid for gas and parts for the Plymouth to keep it running and reliable for us.

In the summer of 1967 I met my now wife, Lee. We dated all summer and in January of 1962, I decided to enlist in the United States Navy. I was stationed in Bainbridge, Maryland.

During this time I purchased a 1957 blue Ford Fairlane to provide transportation from Maryland to Rhode Island so I could visit Lee and my family and friends. One day, on my way up

Street Race Stories

Episode 2

Saturday night is usually a big night for Ghost. Tonight, it involves hanging with the boys at the local donut shop. Ghost turns into the parking lot with his windows down. He hears someone say, “Is that just a pretty car or is it fast?” Ghost stops the car and one of the local Spanish racers by the name of Hector walks over to Ghost’s car and leans in and says, “do you race this thing?” Ghost replies, “If the money is right, I will.” Ghost says “what do you got in mind?” Hector replies, “I have a Toyota Supra with a turbo and I’m pretty sure it will beat your car without a problem.” Ghost chuckles to himself and says “really?” Hector says, “I have somebody that drives my car for me. He is a little lighter than me so the car is faster with him in it.” Ghost says “what kind of money are we talking?” Hector replies, “How about a hundred bucks?” Ghost thinks to himself, well that could be used for some race fuel or a night out at his favorite Taco Bell mmm mmm-mmm-mmm. Ghost says, “I got to run home and put my slicks on the car.” They agree to meet back here in a half hour.

Ghost takes the 10 minute ride back to his house.

He jacks the car up with spare wheels and puts on his full out slicks and hurries back to the spot.

Upon arrival, Hector’s hired gun is behind the wheel of the Supra and is warming it up. They agree to go down to a spot on an empty road near the train tracks. A crowd is now formed and decides to follow Ghost and Hector’s hired gun over to the spot. They line their cars up and decide to go on a 1 2 3 count. Just as Ghost counts 3, 2 and all of a sudden the hired gun jumps out on them thinking a chase is a race. Ghost hammers the car with all its got. The car responds leaving wheels up on the street. Within 100 ft, Ghost has caught him and is passing him like he is tied to a stake in the ground. Ghost’s blower builds the boost and is now at 24 PSI and the car is way ahead of the Supra. Ghost crosses the line and all you can see are headlights in the far distance behind him. He laughs to himself... this hundred bucks was easy.

Just as he is shutting down his car, he notices an all to familiar sight at the starting line. It’s the ever friendly police. Oh crap, Ghost decides to leave like nothing happened. He jumps on the highway and heads back to his house to put his car in the garage. He thinks to himself, although I got the win, I didn’t get the collect $100. Hey, it’s better than having the car impounded and possibly a night in the clink. Ghost shuts the garage and walks in the house thinking, I’ll see him next week.

Another story of street races down. Hope you enjoyed and see you next month.

The most challenging task that we are trying to put off this winter is ultimately cleaning out the garage.

There are a ton of items to go through, from left over assorted tools, to containers of grease, to half empty bottles of fluids that are bringing us a sense of unnecessary clutter. What even the most vigilant person hasn’t considered is the actual probability of their products being “expired” or well past use.

JIM’S TOWING SERVICE

When perusing through your stashTOWING of goods on24/7 top off your toolbox and shelves, you might want to keep one basic question in mind.

“How long have I had this?” One of the most prominent contaminants that will RI DPUright before your eyes which can be a dreadful harm to your vehicle is MA DPU unfold MC916 29357 hydroscopic fluids. What does hydroscopic mean? Hydroscopic describes something that will readily take up and retain moisture.

1153 CENTRAL AVE., PAWTUCKET, RI

401-724-2333 • 401-724-2450

A common hydroscopic fluid that would cause quite a conundrum is brake fluid.

When brake fluid absorbs moisture, the boiling point of the fluid becomes lower and will cause the fluid to compress less. Moisture within your braking system will give the fluid the ability to limit your braking power, and in turn rust out your brake lines and all necessary hardware and components. Being a New Englander during the winter months will accelerate your fluid’s water-sucking habits and this is why it is discourage to keep larger containers on your garage shelf. If possible, buy the smallest bottles at your local Auto Parts retailer.

One other thing that most Motorheads will store in case of emergencies is fuel.

What is about this winter that has you chomping at the bits, or just simply frustrated?

Is it the never ending back-to-back snowstorms, or the severe cold temperatures, or is it both weather conditions combined?

With me, it is all of the above. Hate the snow, hate the cold temperatures, hate winter months altogether.

This animal clawed its way to the BASF Booth as a feature vehicle. Georgina Garcia May Photography (GGM Photos) offers us a glimpse of this rare cat.

“Lethal Cat”, as named

by Don Emmons of Musclecars Classics magazine, was in the Cliff Ernst (Tennessee Yenko Camaro Fame) car collection. Chuck Donaldson currently owns this exceptional example of one of Mercury’s finest Cougar.

Sadly in 2014, an underhood fire took many lives out of this cat with severe damage to both the exterior and interior. KTL Restorations hand rebuilt this car to showroom quality. Special details include custom “Lethal Cat” floor mats along with KTL dog dish style center caps. Kurt Lawrance is known for his high-quality paint finishes through unique self-taught techniques utilizing top of the line BASF products. Warped and burnt exterior body panels were patched and straightened. Melted and water damaged interior pieces such as the original door panels were salvaged and painstakingly repaired. No detail was left undone. The sheer volume of dedicated work on this BASF selected featured vehicle was on full display at SEMA 2018 Las Vegas!

FORD VS CHEVY SHOOTOUT

Sponsored by VIKING MOTORSPORTS ED YESSAIAN With the first date for this event in August, rained out, Scott Erickson moved forward with his “the show must go on” attitude. And luckily he did because on the morning Sunday, October 21st, the gates at New England Dragway opened at 8am and the lines were out to the streets! This weekend would be one of the last for the 2018 drag racing season and the crisp, cool air was just what the doctor ordered for making good power and creating new personal bests, which a whole lot of people can attest to doing so (including myself ).

Erickson’s event featured four classes, both bracket and heads up and those four classes addressed literally every combination you could think up, so there was a place for everybody who came out to enjoy the day. After an incredible job by all of New England Dragway’s staff, the racers moved through round after round until four top contenders stood proudly with their trophies and cash winnings…

Bracket Classes BOX- With decades of bracket racing experience under his belt, local favorite John Beaule took the victory with killer reaction times and deadly consistency round after round to get the job done.

NO BOX- This was the largest class of the day and was loaded with some serious talent. The final round put two of the Outlaw 10.50 competitors up against each other as Ralph “Fireball” Blackburn claimed the victory over True Street great Mike Machnik.

Heads Up Classes TRACK DEMON- Brian “Papa” Milward was red hot all day running some of the fastest passes of the event and making one final lap towards the Winner’s Circle.

STREET DEMON- With a total of nine cars, this class was loaded with some of the top names in Outlaw 10.50. The final came down to literally a couple feet between Rob Ingles’ masterpiece 1st generation Camaro and Jonathan Furtado’s turbo LSX notchback Mustang. Furtado would take the win in perhaps the closest race this event has ever seen.

RUDOLF DIESEL Diesel was born in Paris, France in 1858 the second of three children of Elise (née Strobel) and Theodor Diesel. His parents were Bavarian immigrants living in Paris.

Theodor Diesel, a bookbinder by trade, left his home town of Augsburg, Bavaria, in 1848. He met his wife, a daughter of a Nuremberg merchant, in Paris in 1855 and became a leather goods manufacturer there.

Rudolf Diesel spent his early childhood in France, but at the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, his family was forced to leave, as were many other Germans.

They settled in London, England. Before the war’s end, however, Diesel’s mother sent 12-year-old Rudolf to Augsburg to live with his aunt and uncle, Barbara and Christoph Barnickel, to become fluent in German and to visit the Königliche Kreis-Gewerbeschule (Royal County Vocational College), where his uncle taught mathematics.

At the age of 14, Diesel wrote a letter to his parents saying that he wanted to become an engineer. After finishing his basic education at the top of his class in 1873, he enrolled at the newly founded Industrial School of Augsburg. Two years later, he received a merit scholarship from the Royal Bavarian Polytechnic of Munich, which he accepted against the wishes of his parents, who would rather have seen him start to work.

One of Diesel’s professors in Munich was Carl von Linde. Diesel was unable to graduate with his class in July 1879 because he fell ill with typhoid fever. While waiting for the next examination date, he gained practical engineering experience at the Gebrüder Sulzer Maschinenfabrik (Sulzer Brothers Machine Works) in Winterthur, Switzerland. Diesel graduated in January 1880 with highest academic honours and returned to Paris, where he assisted his former Munich professor, Carl von Linde, with the design and construction of a modern refrigeration and ice plant. Diesel became the director of the plant one year later.

In 1883, Diesel married Martha Flasche, and continued to work for Linde, gaining numerous patents in both Germany and France.

In early 1890, Diesel moved to Berlin with his wife and children, Rudolf Jr, Heddy, and Eugen, to assume management of Linde’s corporate research and development department and to join several other corporate boards there. As he was not allowed to use the patents he developed while an employee of Linde’s for his own purposes, he expanded beyond the field of refrigeration. He first worked with steam, his research into thermal efficiency and fuel efficiency leading him to build a steam engine using ammonia vapour. During tests, however, the engine exploded and almost killed him.

He spent many months in a hospital, followed by health and eyesight problems.

CALL 401-965-9012 TO ADVERTISE

He then began designing an engine based on the Carnot cycle, and in 1893, soon after Karl Benz was granted a patent for his invention of the motor car in 1886, Diesel published a treatise entitled Theory and Construction of a Rational Heat-engine to Replace the Steam Engine and The Combustion Engines Known Today and formed the basis for his work on and invention of the Diesel engine.

Diesel understood thermodynamics and the theoretical and practical constraints on fuel efficiency.

He knew that as much as 90% of the energy available in the fuel is wasted in a steam engine. His work in engine design was driven by the goal of much higher efficiency ratios. After experimenting with a Carnot cycle engine, he developed his own approach. Eventually, he obtained a patent for his design for a compression-ignition engine. In his engine, fuel was injected at the end of compression and the fuel was ignited by the high temperature resulting from compression. From 1893 to 1897, Heinrich von Buz, director of MAN AG in Augsburg, gave Rudolf Diesel the opportunity to test and develop his ideas. Rudolf Diesel obtained patents for his design in Germany and other countries, including the United States. He was inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame in 1978.

Disappearance and death On the evening of 29 September 1913, Diesel boarded the GER steamer SS Dresden in Antwerp on his way to a meeting of the Consolidated Diesel Manufacturing company in London, England. He took dinner on board the ship and then retired to his cabin at about 10 p.m., leaving word to be called the next morning at 6:15 a.m.; but he was never seen alive again. In the morning his cabin was empty and his bed had not been slept in, although his nightshirt was neatly laid out and his watch had been left where it could be seen from the bed. His hat and neatly folded overcoat were discovered beneath the afterdeck railing. Ten days later, the crew of the Dutch boat Coertzen came upon the corpse of a man floating in the North Sea near Norway. The body was in such an advanced state of decomposition that it was unrecognizable, and they did not bring it aboard. Instead, the crew retrieved personal items (pill case, wallet, I.D. card, pocketknife, eyeglass case) from the clothing of the dead man, and returned the body to the sea. On 13 October, these items were identified by Rudolf’s son, Eugen Diesel, as belonging to his father. On 14 October 1913 it was reported that Diesel’s body was found at the mouth of the Scheldt by a boatman, but he was Source Wikipedia forced to throw it overboard because of heavy weather.

Etch cuts the front tires of the OUTLAW GTO hard left as the tank projectile misses his entire car by inches and heads straight for the stopped police cruisers that were trying to keep Etch from escaping only moments earlier. The police officers throw their power circles and coffees to the ground and start diving into the highway gullies on both sides of the four lane blacktop. A few seconds later, one of the police vehicles is struck, explodes, and causes the police vehicles parked around that one, to burst into flames and also explode, with a couple vehicles actually leaving the earths surface going straight up into the air. Etch strategically drives OUTLAW directly under one of those leaping police vehicles, timing it perfectly through the flames and smoke that occupy most of the ground space surrounding him and his prized muscle car. {KaBLAAAAM} Etch hears the tank fire at him once again and floors the gas pedal and closes his eyes steering straight ahead

on the open highway. Etch has OUTLAW maxed right now and shooting at him with a tank isn’t making matters any better than when he was being pursued by law enforcement earlier on that highway. OUTLAW is screaming down the highway when another tank shell goes soaring by the nose of this fleeing muscle car. Etch watches as the tank shell heads up the highway and out of sight over the high grade roadway. “Where in the hell is that tank shell going? asks, Etch, while trying to sit up higher in his driver seat in an attempt to try and see anything beyond his point of vision.

KaaaahBOOOOOM!!! Etch sees a fireball shoot straight up in the air surrounded by billowing black smoke as he nears the point of impact at a high rate of speed. “A school bus? They just blew up a freakin’ school bus? Damn! I hope nobody got hurt.” Etch flies past the school bus realizing it wasn’t filled with kids. It was placed there to try and box him and his OUTLAW GTO in on the section of the

Rhode Island’s Only

Las Vegas Style Cabaret

highway. “Thank, God!” Etch puts the pedal to the metal and his muscle car screams away at a high rate of speed with what is left of the police vehicles still in hot pursuit. One police vehicle after another drive past the burning school bus blown to pieces and spread out all over the roadway. “Nice shootin’ idiots! You blew up our blockade instead of the GTO! Somebody get that tank driver a seeing eye dog!” said, a police officer over his mic. “And, you blew up a bunch of our police cars too! Somebody send that guy a bill for all the damage will yah?” The GTO is long gone by now but the police have another surprise up their sleeves for Mr. Outlaw.

MAGOO MOTOR ED YESSAIAN

I’ve always marveled at the fact that when you’re racing at New England Dragway, you become intertwined in a community of people that always help each other when necessary and share in each other’s enjoyment, success, and sometimes failures.

With that being said, there are of course a handful of people that are above and beyond normal acquaintances and are truly FAMILY, in every sense of the word.

And so it is with my good

friend Tom Whatley and his son Brad, who I met first through my ED DAY CHARITY CHALLENGE, then brought them in to Outlaw 10.50, and now basically hang out with them almost every time I’m at the track. Most recently they attended my Steve Reis Memorial race when Brad piloted their masterpiece of a 1992 Mustang LX to a new best of 10.55 @ 128.48mph.

When I tell you that this car is a work of art, I must admit that is an understatement.

No single detail was left untouched in what started as

a bone-stock LX 5.0 that Tom found on the side of the road, in 2009, for only 2,000.00. In its early days it took Tom down the ¼ mile in 14.34 seconds with the stock AOD. By 2010 he was ready to crank it up and dropped in a 306ci engine and a T5 transmission. Over the next year or so Tom began transforming it into a true drag car and in 2011 performed the body work and paint as “physical therapy” and also something to keep his mind challenged as he figured out his new setup.

In 2014 that 306 engine breathed its last breath and was temporarily substituted with another

RSPORTS engine until a purpose built powerplant could be designed and built.

At this point Tom decided to call in one of Rhode Island’s most famous Mustang personalities, Keith Calitri, who helped him put together a very potent 331ci engine with DSS stroker internals and AFR heads. Backing up that motor was going to be too much of a chore for the stock T5 transmission, so Tom and Keith turned to Motorhead’s Ed Yessaian who supplied an Astro A5 transmission with every single upgrade, capable of support-

BRAD AND TOM WHATLEY’S QUEST FOR 9’S

ing 650hp and 575ft/lbs of torque. 4.30 gears snapped the car off the line and some magical fine tuning by DEZ Racing got the car to perform at its most optimum level. To date Tom’s best run was a 10.82 but his son Brad, as previously mentioned, whipped up a 10.55 elapsed time and is looking to greatly improve on that.

simply awesome in my opinion. As the Whatley’s proudly display on their windows- NO AUTOMATICS!!

When asked what future plans they have for the car, both Tom and Brad were a bit secretive but Motorhead’s Ed Yessaian, a bad influence for sure, is currently trying to install all of his nitrous stuff in the Whatley’s car, but is being met with a bit of resistance. With just a small shot of juice, there’s no doubt that this car could touch 9 second ET’s and can do it with a manual transmission, which is

ACCURATE TRANSMISSIONS

Dominating the Winner’s Circle for Over 25 Years

ED YESSAIAN

When I first started building a car for New England Dragway’s Outlaw 10.50 program, there was one part of the build that I didn’t need to worry about, and that was finding a transmission that could handle the power of the new motor. After talking to pretty much everyone in the Outlaw 10.50 group, I was told to just call Anthony Apuzzo Junior at Accurate Transmissions, which I did. Because I had been driving a stick car my whole life I had little knowledge of automatics but got some assistance from Tony Jarvis who basically got together with Apuzzo and put in the order for my bulletproof C4 with every option offered. Now, after two seasons of racing, I can join the huge list of people who sing the praises of Accurate Transmissions, as far as their reliability and unmatched performance. This doesn’t surprise Apuzzo because he has spent his entire life working hard to deliver an untouchable product at a fair price that he stands behind without question.

Apuzzo has always taken pride in his work and is a self-made man who started from the bottom and worked his way up to Head R&R tech then Head Builder at his original place of employment.

However something was missing in his heart and in his head, as he became obsessed with building a better product that could hold up to the beatings he was putting on some of his own high powered drag racing cars. He shared this passion with a few close friends and once word got out that he has THE MAN, he quickly outgrew his small home garage and moved to his current location at 75 Poplar St in New Haven Connecticut. This current location houses a V8 powered dyno test stand so that test and retest every unit for proper function and set the pressures per application. This insures that when the unit leaves Accurate, it is ready to head straight to the Winner’s Circle. And that is no smoke, Apuzzo is currently responsible for literally dozens of Championships over the last few years, including…

2013 NEX275 Champion Tony Kkojac- Apuzzo built glide 2016 NEX275 Champion Scotty Wheels /Gary Gonzalez- Accurate built T400 Clean Sweep at NENT Ice Breaker- Winning both Street (Keith Stoddard) and Outlaw (Jason Penna) 2018 Unfinished Business Winner- Tyrone Cockrell- Accurate built T400 2018 9.50 Super Street Champion- Scott Erickson- Accurate

built c4 2018 9.50 Super Street Runner-Up- Gregg Beaudreau- Accurate built C4 2018 LVD Super Street Champion Mike Falcone- Accurate built 727 But Apuzzo doesn’t just sell a great product; he also generously supports many of the classes and events at New England Dragway.

He is a major sponsor of ED DAY Charity Challenge, New England No Time events, and supports many of the top names in Heads Up Drag Racing.

He was also quick to mention that in addition to race cars he does a ton of work on daily drivers, tow rigs, AWD, sport compacts, and pretty much anything that can house an automatic transmission. In a couple year’s he’s even going to be supporting the Junior Dragster of Motorhead’s Mini-Writer Xander Yessaian!!

Having a small business give back to the racing community is pretty rare these days as it’s just a serious financial strain on the business. This doesn’t bother Apuzzo because he knows that the more events he can keep running, the more of his cars are going to win those events and the word will get out that- “If you’re not with Team Accurate, you’ve probably lost to someone that is”.

12 VOLT NEWS How to Shop for a Remote Start

GEORGE ARAKELIAN, JR. While everyone wants a good deal, Don’t Buy a Remote Start System online.

Sure, you say. You want my business so you’re just trying to get me to buy from you. Well, that’s not it. a. If you buy online you won’t be getting any local warranty service or product guarantee. A remote starter isn’t a pair of shoes. It has lots of electrical parts and software. It needs to be installed and set up right and if it needs service now and then you need someone qualified. After all it’s being installed into the electronics of your car’s computer. If your online remote start is bad or needs service, you’ll have to pay a local shop to figure it out, but they won’t be able to replace any parts for you. You’ll have to send your parts back to somewhere?? to see if you can get them exchanged or repaired. Most online stores give no more than a 30 day warranty on your purchase. b. You’re likely not to save much or any money since you’ll pay more for installation and have no local warranty on your parts once they’re installed. If you’re buying the remote start as a gift, do your loved one a favor and buy from a reputable local dealer who can take care of them and their car if there are any issues. Also if you buy online, , who’s going to warranty it for free in Rhode Island, no one. c. You’re likely to buy some wrong parts. Even when the guy on the phone at the online store tells you “yes it includes everything you need”, it often doesn’t or it includes the wrong parts for your make and model which you can’t exchange anywhere on the day you need it installed. We see this happen all the time. The guy on the phone didn’t realize your car required something a little different because he doesn’t install, lacks experience and didn’t read the tech notes on your vehicle. d. Some manufacturer’s won’t warranty their product unless it’s installed by an authorized dealer. The local authorized dealer, if one does exist, is going to charge you more since you didn’t buy from him and he isn’t going to warranty your parts. If they need service, you’ll have to ship them off yourself. e. If you need service later on, you’ll pay for it. Local shops won’t warranty you’re equipment. Just to troubleshoot it (find out what’s wrong if it isn’t working right) will cost you money. f. During the busy Christmas or winter season you’re likely to have to wait longer to get your own product installed before a local shop has time to do it.

Buy your system from a dealer who can install it and who can warranty their work and all parts locally.

An installing dealer who does lots of remote car starter systems knows his product and should know your car. Installing dealers know you’ve come to them for your business and service so they have a vested interest in making your experience a good one and making sure everything

works. After all, you’re not buying a pair of socks.

A remote car starter needs expert knowledge to install and set it up right.

When you buy your product from the dealer, if for any reason a part isn’t working right he’ll exchange or replace it immediately. You’ll leave with a working system and if for any reason you do have to come back for service, you won’t hear them tell you “Your part is no good. You’ll have to send it back to where you bought it.”

Consider buying a Long Range Remote Start System A common thing is most shoppers go for the most affordable system they can find. This isn’t bad. After all, on most late model cars remote start systems aren’t as cheap as they once were because of the interface parts required to work with your car’s computer and software. However, there isn’t really that much difference in cost now between a standard range remote start and a long range model, usually only around $50 to $70 is all, though two-way long range systems will add about double that to the price.

The difference in performance is that a longer range model will insure you can start your car at work or from inside a restaurant or from inside a large store like Walmart, etc. This makes a major difference in convenience. After all that’s a main reason why you’re buying it. When all is said and done, looking back, it’s worth having spend that little extra to get the better range. Most of the time you use your remote start will be away from your home where the extra range will help.

Given a choice, Buy an aftermarket remote start rather than one that comes with the new car from the maker Why? 1. Because aftermarket remote start systems perform better and have much longer range, even our basic systems. An average aftermarket system will have a real world usable range of two to three times farther. This will make a major difference when you need to start your vehicle.

2. Also with an aftermarket remote start system you can turn your remote start on and off as often as you like from inside your home or work place without having to go back out to your car and reset the system. If you change your mind and decide not to leave right away, or you need more time and want your vehicle to warm up even more, you can start your aftermarket system again and again, or shut it off whenever you want and restart it later without going outside to reset your car.

3. You’ll get better after the sale service with aftermarket product bought from a reliable dealer.

Instead of having to leave your vehicle at the dealership for the day, most aftermarket service at our store can be done within hours once work is begun.

4. You can add extra benefits to many of our remote start packages whenever you want, like start your car by phone, ability to track your vehicle, rear seat defroster activation;

a Quality Installation and After the Sale Service All dealers are not the same. If you’re just buying an apple from the grocery store, you can shop anywhere. But expert installation and after the sale service and, equally important, recommending the right product in the first place is what we and other top shops do. A professional remote start dealer knows his product and handles lines he can back up to give you the service and performance you expect. A good dealer will listen to you, determining what it is you need and recommend the right solution.

We don’t carry one system to fit all customers. We have lots of remote start systems to fit different situations and customer needs. When you shop with us you will have a choice of different ways you can do your remote start package. After all it does depend on what you want.

Don’t Let a Car Dealer Talk You Out of An Aftermarket Remote Start System Where do car dealers go when they want to add a remote car starter system to their new vehicles if the car didn’t come with one? That’s right, they come to us or other stores like us. What do car dealers say to you when they don’t want you to buy one of our remote start systems? They say things like “Aftermarket systems can mess up your car and void your factory warranty.” So, you get the idea. Of course, it’s always possible an inexperienced installer or a bad install could hurt your car, but that’s no different from taking your vehicle to a bad mechanic for repairs. With the thousands of remote starts we and other dealers install throughout the United States each year it’s pretty clear they are not only safe but a great benefit. In addition your factory warranty is protected – by Federal law called the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Protection Act. The law says a car dealer can’t refuse you warranty service unless he can directly prove the aftermarket part installed has harmed your vehicle. You have the legal right to install any type of aftermarket parts to your car any time you want without jeopardizing your new car warranty. If a car dealer tells you your warranty will be in jeopardy, they are blowing smoke in your face and trying to mislead you for their own reasons.

A Custom Car Stereo Center has been selling and installing remote starters from the time they became available and been in business for over 30 years. We are certified in car audio and remote start electronics and very experienced in automobile electronics. We offer quality remote start installations daily. We’ll show you how you can start your car from your phone! We even have remote starts for manual transmission cars. How to shop for a Remote Start? Drop by anytime and we’ll show you.

READERS RIDES

WAYNE’S ‘67 CAMARO JIM WEICHERDING

low 12’s at New England DragWay located in Epping, New Hampshire.

This 1967 Camaro RS/SS is proudly owned by Wayne DesLauriers from Massachusetts.

Eventually, Wayne converted his Chevy Camaro back to a daily driver in 1996 for his wife, Brenda.

She drove the Camaro daily, weather permitting, until 1999. The Camaro was put into storage for a number of years.

Wayne purchased this READERS RIDE 1967 Camaro in 1995 for $4500. It was then used as a drag car. This badass Chevy Consistently ran mid-to

In 2004, the Camaro bodywork was completed and painted by Wayne. He was a body repairman at the time and needed to show off his auto body repair and painting skills. Wayne used the best paint products available at the time to finish the task at hand and put his Camaro back on the road again.

Over the years, his Camaro has been transformed to a “Resto-Mod”, meaning it handles and drives like a new car, yet appears to still look like it did when it rolled out of the Chevrolet manufacturing factory and auto dealership showroom more than 50 years ago.

Currently, this beast has a SBC 355ci built to scream. High nickel block, forged internals, high compression world product sportsman heads were installed along with Edelbrock intake and cam with a Holley Double pumper. This Camaro also features MSD ignition lights for the fuel and the Hooker super comp expels it out the tailpipes. It also has a built up Turbo 400 transmission, Ford 9” Posi with 3:55 gears. Hotchkis subframe connectors and sway bar helps keep things stiff. Also has Ride-Tech 4 link adjustable coilovers and BMR tubular front controls arms make it ride like a brand new car. Wilwood four Wheel disc brakes helps this Camaro stop on a dime.

Inside the Camaro, you will find that the complete car was lined with sound deadener material, Vintage air surefit A/C keeps everything

cool on those hot summer days and comes with Autometer gauges helping keep Wayne informed on all of the mechanical issues that may arise while out cruising the New England roadways.

This Camaro also features Pro-Car Rally custom bucket seats and red really makes the interior pop against the black paint. This Camaro is a real head turner. Watch for it at a car show near you in 2019.

I know, I will.

JIM WEICHERDING It’s that time of year again everybody.

Winter driving season is once again upon us and it’s a whole new world for drivers across the region. Snow. Yes, snow and Dangerous Roads. The Rhode Island State Police and Police Departments everywhere tell us again, and again, to take precautions when driving during poor weather conditions and for the most part, a lot of us take notice and drive carefully under these poor weather and road conditions.

But not all of us.

I see it all the time because I have to travel on these roadways regardless of poor weather conditions and snow covered roadways: Bad Drivers. Speeding down these dangerous roads thinking that nothing will ever happen to them. Especially drivers in SUV’s and 4-Wheel Drive Vehicles. Hey! Just because you are driving a vehicle that can get through snowy roadways because of the way that vehicle is manufactured does not mean that you know how to drive them properly.

Slow down!

I see these same vehicles off the side of the roads ditched because the driver knows squat about properly driving them on snowy roads. Jeeps flipped over.

Truck drivers losing control because of improper speeds and crash anyway. Guess what? Ice is still ice.

Doesn’t matter what you drive. Ice wins!

Another thing I see constantly, is vehicles covered with snow and ice driving down the roadways with a cleared off section of the windshield in front of the driver so that driver can see. Well, that foot of snow covering the rest of your vehicle can become a solid projectile at a high rate of speed and end up on somebody else’s windshield or vehicle potentially causing them to lose control of their vehicle and crash behind you. Even worse, hit a pedestrian walking on the sidewalk and potentially causing them harm just because you didn’t take the time to clear off your vehicle before leaving your home.

Clean the snow off of your vehicle! Police officers and first responders are often out on the roadways during these poor weather conditions assisting stranded and broken down vehicle drivers and accident victims and rely on you to be a safe driver and avoid hitting them while they are out doing their jobs and protecting the public during these poor weather conditions. So what if it takes you a little longer to arrive at your destination. Arriving there safely should be your number one thought process.

Watch for police officers and first responders flashing vehicle lights while driving on snowy and slick roads.

Their lives depend on it. Slow down! Drive cautiously. Clear all of the snow off of your vehicle. Don’t text while driving and give yourself plenty of distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you just in case something dangerous happens. You can react better to the situation and stay safe.

Don’t tailgate or crowd other drivers. Dangerous Roads are no joke and the poor weather conditions and bad roadways are part of the New England winter driving experience.

There is no getting around it if you are a driver on our roadways during the winter months. “Drive Safe, Drive 76| Motorhead Magazine - December 2018

Serious!” Lives depend on it. Oh yeah, just in case you didn’t already know this, “Buckle Up!”
