FUTURE ST R Six Year Old Ayla Lavoie is ready for the 2019 Junior Dragster Season

By XANDER YESSAIAN If you are in any way related to Southern NH Undercar in Hampstead, NH, chances are you own a race car or you will eventually. SNHU’s owner Dan Christopher himself owns a 7 second Top Sportsman Mustang and his son Tyler (my cousin) just stepped into a 10 second Chevrolet Monza after completing many successful seasons in a Junior Dragster.

So, being the oldest daughter of Southern NH Undercar’s Master Mechanic Josh Lavoie, it was only a matter of time before Ayla Lavoie was going to be heading to New England Dragway herself. And for the 2019 season Ayla is staged and ready to compete after completing her driver training and licensing procedures.

Ayla will be competing in the Junior B class, and has already shown her incredible talents behind the wheel. She had prior experience with dirt bikes and four wheelers so there was very little adaptation needed for her to move into another form of motorized vehicle.

Even New England Dragway personnel were impressed with her performance, as were all of her friends at Motorhead Magazine. Ayla seemed very confident that she would be a top contender next season and we definitely agree. If my predictions are correct, this time next year we could be featuring Ayla again as the 2019 Junior B Champion.

You heard it here first- Xander Y- OUT!!

O’REILLY AUTO OPENS IN EAS

MIKE GALLO I recently made a trip to O’Reilly Auto Parts store in East Providence, Rhode Island for their grand opening. They are the new kid on the block as far as it goes in the auto parts store business in our wonderful State of Rhode Island. It is nice to have another choice for auto parts to go to. For their grand opening, they had a car show, free swag bag giveaways, free hot dogs, hamburgers and drinks.

O’Reilly Auto Parts was founded in November 1957 in Springfield, Missouri which is also their headquarters. Charles H. O’Reilly founded the store. As of July 2018, O’Reilly has 5147 stores in 47 States including Alaska and Hawaii.

They also employ 79,000 + people.

When I was inside the store, I noticed it was very organized and very well-

stocked. That’s nice to see considering I have ventured in other auto part stores that have not been as well equipped. O’Reilly Parts store believes in the customer first and treating its employees like family. This has made them very successful. And in my opinion, this is a great way to run a business because without good employees and customers, you can’t survive for long.

I had the pleasure of speaking to a few of their employees. They were very pleasant and knowledgeable of the products they sold. Some customers showed up while I was there and they spoke very highly of O’Reilly’s. One Continued Next Page 14| Motorhead Magazine - November 2018

O PARTS STORE AST PROV., RI of the customers went as far as showing me his car at the car show.

It had a 5000 watt sound system in it. I have never been in a car that had only two 12in subwoofers that were so loud, they rattled my teeth. It was absolutely incredible!

If you ever get a chance to go into one of their locations in Rhode Island, Massachusetts or any nearby state, I think you will be happy with what they offer. I will be covering a few more of their grand openings across the state and will keep you informed.

Once again, thank you for reading Motorhead Magazine and keeping us going strong. Over and out.

Editor’s Note: O’Reilly Auto Parts is located at 270 Newport Avenue in East Providence, RI. You can reach them by phone at (401) 709-6960 or visit their website at www.oreillyauto.com to find a location near you.

Bobby Green and “The Dirty Cutty” MIKE GALLO Meet Bobby Green of Bobby G’s Auto in Warwick, Rhode Island and his pride and joy…”The Dirty Cutty”. Bobby has been working on cars for over 30 years and owns a very successful shop in Warwick, Rhode Island called Bobby G’s Auto. If you’re having a problem with your car or truck, rest assured Bobby and his crew of skilled auto mechanics can get you back on track in a quick amount of time and at a great price. He also does state inspections. When Bobby isn’t wrenching on customers cars or running his business, you can find him at New England Dragway racing “The Dirty Cutty”. Bobby has had this car for roughly nine years and it has been through a few different combinations.

The latest combination you see in front of you has netted him a personal best at New England Dragway of 10.9 seconds at 124 miles per hour 20| Motorhead Magazine - November 2018

and this is at a race weight of 3500 lbs. This car has made over 470 rearwheel horsepower on a Dynojet and it has been tuned by Ray Leathers of RKL Performance in West Warwick, Rhode Island.

The cars combination consist of a stock block 355 cubic inch motor that has 13.5.1 compression with Keith Black pistons, Eagle h-beam rods and a forged-steel crankshaft.

It wears a set of Dart Pro 1 cylinder heads and a custom grind solid roller camshaft spect out by Flowtech Induction specifically, Ed Curtis. The car is carbureted and has full length headers with header mufflers for the exhaust. This car sounds mean as hell. The transmission is a tried and tested Powerglide with a dynamic converter that goes to a 10 bolt rear end with Strange 28 spline axles, 4.56 gears and a stock carrier. Yes, you read correctly, a “stock carrier”.

This car has 60 foot, a best of 1.51 seconds with Bobby only foot braking the car. It has yet to leave on the trans brake. Bobby also has 15 by 8 rear Weld wheels and 15 by 4 front Welds. This combination runs on a 29 by 9 inch slick.

This car was, and still is, a streetcar. You can see it on the streets of the city of Warwick from time to time. This car also has an eight point roll bar so it is legal for it’s ventures at the quarter mile. This 1979 Oldsmobile Cutlass is a great example of what can be built when you have the skill and the patience to do so.

Bobby Green is a great guy. He is very humble and will always take the time to talk to you or the help you out, if need be. If you ever run into any car problems, I would implore you to contact him and give him a chance to get you going again. Bobby has a new combination that is being built as we speak. Stay tuned for an update of what the new combination makes for power and the new times it will generate at New England Dragway. It also will be painted this coming year, so keep on the lookout for its new color.

Well that’s it for now my Motorhead readers. Until next time, peace out.

Thanksgiving Traditions

JIM WEICHERDING

our house in their cars and trucks.

I often think back to when life seemed to be a little less stressful and technology was nothing more than a thought for the future. Remembering all the cool cars and trucks driving by our house during the holiday season even if it was snowy and cold outside. Pontiac GTO’s with snow tires? Covered with snow and ice cruising down neighborhood streets? Don’t see that anymore. Why? Because it’s not the sixties anymore.

Even as a kid I was fascinated by vehicles. Especially muscle cars and cool trucks. Pretty much the same way I feel today. All of the television shows I watched had cool cars. Most of my family of adults drove muscle cars. No station wagons or family sedans in this family. It’s fast fifties cars or even faster sixties cars for us! Couple of my uncles rode motorcycles but only one rode his even in the winter. He was crazy but he was cool too.

A shame really when you think about it now. How many of you reading this article would love to spend just one full day back in the sixties on one of your happiest days? I know I would. Those days would more than likely be Thanksgiving Days. I loved Thanksgiving. Sitting over the back of my couch watching family members pulling up into the driveway or out on the street in front of

Everyone would show up for our traditional Thanksgiving feast. My mom

57 FUNERALS Mini-Series By JIM WEICHERDING Part 4

“Good boys,” said, Randolph to both of his dogs. The dogs are now licking his face and playfully bouncing around him standing in the driveway. “Now, let us go fix those front windows you two decided to jump through a few minutes earlier.” 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, or at least from being harmed by the masked cowards that were attempting to creep up behind him while he washed his classic Chevy.

As he starts to sweep up the broken glass with a broom, Randolph thinks back to his friends and brothers back in Vietnam. They were cleaning up shards of glass left scattered across the post after heavy artillery brought down a USA medical helicopter flying overhead transporting injured soldiers back to the hospital for proper care and treatment for their injuries.

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

Looking for a Wrangler TJ?

By BILL PRATT We recently had to do an expedited search for a TJ Wrangler (1997-2006) to replace one that had given up the ghost. The engine had died and, since it was already something of a Franken-Jeep comprised of about 6 different TJ model years, well, it was time to start fresh. Here are some of the lessons we learned or that we leveraged during the search. If you’re in the market for a TJ, these may come in handy.

Where to search is important, as is knowing your real budget before you start. We used Facebook marketplace, Jeep-related Facebook groups, and Craigslist. This turned out to be one of the new lessons learned. When using Craigslist, it’s helpful to look at nearby areas in addition to the main area you’re searching. But, as it turned out, it’s more effective to actually search in neighboring Craigslist areas directly. The Wrangler we ended up finding and buying was in one of those areas but it didn’t surface until we went directly to that Craigslist geography and did a direct search.

windshield as well since it’s unlikely the old one will come out and go back in without cracking. Figure at least $400.00 to repair a rusted windshield frame, not including the cost of the windshield.

The bump stops and spring perches are also common rust areas and the body will need to be lifted off the frame to repair them properly. While you’re under the Jeep inspecting the frame, look at the fuel and brake lines.

These commonly rust over time and, while generally not expensive to purchase, take some time and expense to replace.

Once you’ve satisfied yourself that the TJ is structurally sound (or at least within your ability and willingness to repair), be sure to drive it and go through all the gears. On manual transmission models, be sure to get all the way into 5th gear. The AX-15 transmission is known to have weak 5th gear synchro’s and you’ll want to make sure you can easily shift into 5th gear at

We started out with a budget of around $4K and we really weren’t finding much worth buying. One trick to help expand the search is to set your maximum search price about $1K above what you want to spend. Some of those Jeeps may be with sellers willing to negotiate a much lower price in order to complete a sale. You, after all, are the bird in hand. Still, there were serious compromises with everything we looked at.

Some things you need to know when looking for a TJ are the common trouble spots because fixing them can run into many hours of work or many dollars paid out. Sometimes both. The first and most important is, of course, rust.

TJ frames have several spots that are prone to rust. Major areas are the body mounts, the area along the frame where the skid plate mounts, and the areas that drop off behind or in front of the axles where drainage is either poor or non-existent. If someone tells you that the frame hasn’t been patched and the price is below $8K, you should probably assume that it needs patches that just haven’t been done yet. Go look at it but make sure you get under it and really check out both sides, top, and bottom of the frame rail along its entire length. Look closely at the body mounts (there are 11 mounts total) and make sure they aren’t broken or badly repaired.

I typically take a good-sized screwdriver with me and I pound along the floors and frame rails looking for soft spots. There are repair kits available to fix rusted frames but they can be expensive and you’d have to have pretty solid welding skills to avoid the expense of having a qualified welder do it for you. You may see frames that look freshly painted or undercoated. Treat this as a red flag and make sure you test the frame everywhere in case the seller has used a cheap trick to cover rust they don’t want you to see.

One of the major problems with bad mounts is that it usually includes rustthrough of the tub. A good rule of thumb when seeing any serious rust is that what you can see is usually only 25% of what you’ll uncover when doing the repairs.

The toe board section of the front floors is another area prone to rust, as are the fenders. For the floors, be sure to lift the carpet and look at the bare metal. You may also need to lift some carpet underlayment as well. Closely check where the roll cage bolts to the tub behind the front seats.

speed.

We looked at close to a dozen Jeeps and then decided that we needed to raise our budget limit because so many of the ones we saw needed some or all of the above items. All of them had been represented as being in much better condition than they actually were and, standing next to them, they looked the part. All of the problems were underneath and we didn’t need to replace a dead project with a new one. So, we bumped our budget up to $7K. The next few we looked at were better but still needed rust repair to some degree. Then, at last, the haystack coughed up the needle.

In the end we found a 1998 Wrangler with the 4.0 and 5-speed combination with only 80,000 miles on the clock and an asking price of $6,800.00. It was completely rust-free underneath, having had some high-quality, professional repairs done to the frame in the most common areas. What hadn’t been repaired looked completely clean. It had some negatives, such as a deteriorated soft top, a sticky tailgate latch, and worn tires. All of those are relatively inexpensive to refresh or repair and none require the Jeep to be off the road for an extended period of time.

It took knowledge, patience, and a willingness to walk away from a bunch of Jeeps before we found the right one. And that applies no matter what kind of vehicle you’re looking to buy.

proved our abilities to customize your car to your vision! However, we do not just do frame off restorations and custom builds! We are a full service shop and can help with everything from

wiring, engine replacement, rust repair or tracking down hard to find parts and anything in between!

This month’s featured vehicle is a 1955 Chevy Nomad that had been sitting for over 4 decades!

The owner finally got his dads old Nomad out to get it back on the road. He however, does not want a full restoration, he simply wants to fix the really bad rust spots and get the car back on the road. There is beauty to keeping it as original as possible and enjoying the car as is, but also a challenge to the shop doing the repair and keeping the patina as is.

This month I have included a few of the pics of the Nomad as it sits, next month we will showcase the finished project. Metal work is an art and keeping this beauty looking original will showcase once again, how we can help you keep your ride exactly what you want it to be. Next month you will see the repaired metal around both front lights, a spot by the passenger rear tire, the top of the rear door and the trunk pan repaired, while keeping the car looking as it does after 40+ years in storage!

Stay tuned…..

Ford FE ALIVE!

By DAVID VERONE

Even before I had my license to drive I would hang around with the older guys who had muscle cars and were street racing. That’s where my attraction to drag racing started. Around that time I came across an article in Hot Rod Magazine about a 1968 Mustang Cobra Jet Performance test. In pure stock condition the Mustang turned a 13.5 quarter mile time and was called the fastest production vehicle for that year. So, I kept my eye out for one in the years that followed.

In 1972, I heard that someone not too far from me had a 1968 for sale with a Cobra Jet motor in it. After I had checked it out I bought the car from Lou Fusco, who was the original

owner and had done some street racing and track racing with great success. This is where my street racing days began. Back then, Kennedy Plaza in Downtown Providence was the place to show your car and get into a race. Young people would come from surrounding cities and towns to ride “the circle” in Kennedy Plaza. From there they would drive to nearby locations where a few friends, Rick Mazzaroppi, Paul Izzo and I had marked off a quarter mile.

reconstruction changed the face of the circle in Kennedy Plaza and it no longer exists as it was.

I had my Mustang for five years and I ended up selling it in 1977 when

I thought I was growing tired of it. Everybody makes mistakes! Fast forward twenty five years, I was in search of another 1968 Mustang. I heard from a friend that someone was selling a 1970 Mach I in Woonsocket, RI. After seeing this car, I couldn’t turn it down. It needed some work but it was exactly what I was looking for. I bought it from Rick Legare, who I became good friends with due to our mutual interest in FE Fords. The Mustang came with the 428 Cobra Jet motor, which in time I ended up selling because it needed work, and at that same time I had come across a 427 Block, which has cross bolted mains. Ocean State Performance had a perfect 427 Block and other parts that I needed to complete the build. So I gave them the project of building a street motor that would run on 93 octane fuel and also produce about 42| Motorhead Magazine - November 2018

600 horsepower. The engine builder, Bill Wikstrom, had many years of experience, especially on FE Fords, so I was very happy to have him do the job. After discussing my options, we opted for a 482 ci Stroker.

With just 10.25:1 compression and some head work on the aluminum

Edelbrock heads, we achieved our goal of approximately 600 horsepower.

After a few trips to New England Dragway, the car easily ran under the 11.5 cutoff time that required the Mustang to have a roll bar. So I spent some time trying to slow the car down because I didn’t want to install a roll bar in order to keep it looking as original as possible. In a short period of time I changed the cam to a milder version, which was more “streetable”. This helped a bit but it didn’t slow the car down too much. I was able to sneak in a run with street tires (drag radials) of 11.28 at 120 mph. After that run a track official told me, in a rather loud tone, that if I ran below 11.5 again I would not be able to run at that track Continued next page

!

again. Still, with closed exhaust and street tires, it will run at 11.5 consistently.

The paint on the Mustang is mostly original. After being buffed and polished numerous times, it still looks pretty good for being over 45 years old.

I still perform most of the work necessary on my Mustang, like tuning the engine. Anything I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do or would rather not do, like machine work, etc, I leave to Bob Mason of Mason Racing Engines in North Scituate, RI. I have the best of both worlds-a street car to attend cruise nights in, and when I feel like racing I head over to New England Dragway.

What’s Your Shelf?

George’sOn Automotive Repair What You Should and Shouldn’t Be Tossing This Winter

Lauryn “Hotwheels” Pontiac-Vernancio

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.

When perusing through your stash of goods on 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 unfold right before your eyes which can be a dreadful harm to your vehicle is hydroscopic fluids. What does hydroscopic mean? Hydroscopic describes something that will readily take up and retain moisture.

1333 Main Street • Coventry, RI

401-828-5348

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.

Old Minibikes, Old Dirt Bikes, Old Hondas Etc.

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?

Edited By ROB MAY Dusk Rose paint on Theresa J. Keller’s 1957 Ford Thunderbird, in New England (Vermont), shines brightly in Terry Dority’s brilliant photos. Terry’s third generation (1971-1973) Mercury Cougar is a previously featured Motorhead Cat! Kyle Keller, who helps Terry with the mechanical items on the Cougar, relays his mom’s T-Bird story to Rob May. Data decoded from the clean plate reveals its Dearborn factory options as originally built. The removable hardtop is painted matched to its body (XX Dusk Rose paint code).

The interior trim is pleated Colonial White vinyl (XK).

Initially, under the hood was a 292 2V mated to a 3-speed transmission (C code). Currently a 312 Y-Block with 4V provides the motivation to get down the road!

Theresa states ”I fell in love with the 1957 Thunderbird when I was 18 years old. I wanted to purchase one, but was unable to at that age. Life went on. I was married and had two sons. My love for the ’57 T-Bird continued for years though. I was 58 years old when my husband surprised me with ‘Pinky’. (Yes, that’s what I called her). I cried for a while and then sat behind the wheel.

I couldn’t believe she was mine.

Pinky was purchased June 24th, 2005.” Even when not out and about, Teresa enjoys looking at the ’57 Ford. People will often honk their horn or give a thumbs up which makes her feel elated!

“The Dusk Rose with white interior is a perfect color that I love.” The car handles flawlessly.

“It’s honestly like driving a new car.”

d in New England This car had a few necessary things done for improvements and to maintain its readiness for road trips include new tires, clutch, fuel tank, welding the frame, adding a 4V carb, and a new windshield. Overall, the car is extremely well preserved and sharp looking thanks to Teresa’s husband. They started collecting ’57 Fords since they were teenagers, so he has plenty of experience with the older Fords! This month is Theresa’s birthday!

Street Race Stories MIKE GALLO I’m going to be writing a series of fictional stories about street racers and the races they did or did not race. So without further ado, here it is.

It was a Friday night and Ghost was getting his car ready for the night ahead. He made sure his blower belt was tight, the fuel tank was full of VP c16, and the tires were at the correct air pressure in his Fox Body Mustang. He had a lot of money riding on this race and didn’t want to take any chances. Ghost had raced many races but only lost a few. It’s tough admitting to himself that he has been beaten at his own game, but it happens. Finally his cell phone alerts with the text message of where and when the race will be. The spot that is chosen is a desolate part of the road that few cars travel and most of all it’s void of the law. Ghost will be racing one of the faster guys from the 508 area code and knows that his opponent does not take the racing lightly.

The time rolls around near 12am and Ghost heads out for the spot. With his helmet in the passenger seat, he makes his way. It takes Ghost close to 30 minutes to arrive to the spot.

When he pulls in, he sees his group of friends who have showed up to watch him battle it out. Over at the enclosed trailer, he sees his opponent. Ghost thinks to himself, so much for bringing a streetcar. Lights illuminate from inside the opponents trailer as the car fires up. Just the rumble of the car is enough to shake Ghost’s car. A big block Cama-

ro with a single stage of nitrous, this race is going to be tough. Both sides meet up to discuss wages and rules.

It’s agreed upon that the race will be head up and it will be flagged.

gauges. He eases the car into first gear and pulls up to the burnout spot. Two of his friends lay down some traction compound for him to do his burn. Ghost precedes to roll

www.mperacing.com The price of admission to this race is $1,000. If you jump or cross the center line, you lose. If you break, you’re out $1,000.

The person flagging the race is none other than the fat man. He is built like a fire hydrant and can barely move, but everybody trust him as the flagger for the races. Fat man tells Ghost and his opponent to get to the line. Ghost fires up his Fox Body Mustang and checks to make sure everything looks good with the

into it and give the car a blip of the throttle, jump the break and start smoking the tires to put heat into them. Once he feels the car grab, he lets out and rolls to the line. Over the whine of his supercharger, he hears the big block warming up his tires.

Honestly, it makes him nervous. The car sounds like a 1500 horsepower car and Ghost has a car with half the power. The opponent pulls up to the line and purges his nitrous. With a few plumes of juice in the air, he is set to go. Fat man points to Ghost

and to the other racer to make sure both are ready. With a head nod from each, fat man backs up, raises his hands and immediately drops them. Both cars leave wheels up.

The big block Camaro immediately jumps out two cars and Ghost is trying his hardest to reel him in as we approach the 330ft mark. Ghost is on his bumper and he is relying on the power from his ProCharger to overtake this monster of a Camaro.

He hears the nitrous kick in on the Camaro and immediately notices the Camaro spin the tires and go sharp right. This is his chance. He lays into his Mustang with all its got and just as the Camaro straightens out, Ghost pulls a car on him. They’re both screaming towards the finish line and Ghost can see the Camaro out of the corner of his eye as they cross the line. It looks too close to call. He immediately shuts the car down and the Camaro blows past him. The Camaros driver gives him a thumbs up and they roll back to their respective groups. Ghost is uncertain if he won but as he approaches his people, he is congratulated and assured the race is his. After a few moments, the big block Camaro driver comes over and concedes. He hands Ghost over the $1,000 purse but he makes sure to tell him that there will be a rematch. Ghost takes the money, gets back into his car and heads home thinking... what will he spend his money on...definitely something for his car.

OUTLAW GTO stops broadside on the highway with the passenger side facing the roadblock and Etch’s drivers side facing the oncoming police vehicles not able to keep up with him just moments ago. Etch looks at the approaching police cars and then back at the roadblock. “A Tank? Really?

A freakin’ tank?” Etch plants his right foot on top of the muscle car gas pedal and slams it to the floorboard. The OUTLAW GTO is screaming as loud as it can with fierce wheel hopping and fish tailing across the open freeway. {KaBLAAAAM} the tank commander takes a shot at the eluding Pontiac GTO. Etch cuts the front tires 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 sit up higher in his driver seat in an attempt to try and see anything beyond his point of vision.

Steve Reis Memorial Shootout

Sponsored by Southern NH Undercar ED YESSAIAN You couldn’t have asked for a better day on Saturday September 22nd, as the air was crisp and cool and dozens of race cars stood ready to honor the memory of fellow racer Steve Reis. In the past this event was strictly a Mustang vs F-Body gathering but because many of the friends and family of Steve Reis had other makes and models, the event was now opened to anyone that wanted to join in on the one thing that Steve loved most- talking smack and DRAG RACING. The 2018 Steve Reis Memorial Shootout had 5 index classes, a bracket class, and an award from Motorhead Magazine’s Xander Yessaian for the coolest race car. Winner’s received the highly coveted Stevie Mugs so that they could celebrate their victory by raising a glass. The following participants stood proudly in the winner’s circle after this year’s event…

13.00 Index - Jim Reilly (1989 Mustang)- Rhode Island’s own Jim Reilly piloted his 89 Mustang, which he has had since new, against his long-time friend and True Street counterpart RB Philips to emerge victorious.

12.00 Index - Dave Furtado (2014 Camaro)- Dave Furtado would pull double duty in the 12.00 index and the bracket race and eventually emerge victorious in 12.00 to add a point for team Camaro.

11.00 Index - Wade West (1972 Camaro)- For the third time in the five year history of the event, Wade West took the win in the 11.00 Index after a Camaro vs Camaro final.

10.00 Index - Ed Miller (1989 Mustang)- Multiple time Fast Street Champion Ed Miller would fend off a huge list of top notch competitors to claim the Stevie Mug in the 10.00 index.

9.00 Index - Ken Sampson (1970 Nova)- For the first time in the history of this event, someone finally dethroned the undefeated Scott Erickson in the 9.00 Index. Ken Sampson rolled in as a last minute entry and danced through the rounds to eventually capture the win.

Bracket Class - Dave Smith (2002 Mustang)- Dave Smith ripped his supercharged GT through a huge field of racers to stand proudly in the winner’s circle of the Bracket Class.

2018 OUTLAW 10.50 CHAMPIONS Another Season in the Books

ED YESSAIAN It’s hard to believe that another entire drag racing season has come and gone. It seems like just yesterday I was scrambling to get my motor back in the car and my trailer all packed up, but as they say “time flies when you’re having fun”. And quite a bit of fun we had!!

With a total of nine race days, some of the championships were determined early and the competitors just needed to fend off the runner up for the tail end of the season. There was also a couple other indexes that went right down to the last round of the last day of the season. At any rate, here are your five Champions for 2018…

TRUE STREET 12.50 Last Year’s Champion Steve George successfully defended his Championship by taking the first two races and running with the lead until the very end. Scott Almstrom made a very strong showing all season and should fend well in 2019.

REAL STREET 11.50 “The Machine” Ron Childs added his 35th Drag Racing Championship to his resume and has tallied nearly 400 career wins as he took on a very competitive field this season, including runner up “Fireball” Ralph Blackburn.

FAST STREET 10.50 2017 Fast Street Champion Chris Rice held on for a back to back Championship reign, but not before sweating it out against multiple time champion Ed Miller and Rice’s own brother Keith.

SUPER STREET 9.50 For the first time in a very long time, a NEW Super Street Champion was crowned, as Scott Erickson of Viking Motorsports emerged victorious in an Index that went right to the last round of the last race. Team MBP racer Gregg Boudreau captured Runner-Up honors.

WILD STREET 8.50 This was another class that carried the excitement to the very last round as the father and son team from the Sanford family battled each other until the end of it all. When the tire smoke cleared Big Bill Sanford took top honors over Runner-up Ben Sanford who had a great season.

There’s really no other felling like taking delivery of your first Mustang or Muscle Car, especially when you’re in your early teenage years. The first time you Ed Yessaian lay eyes on that aggressive stance, the first smell of the leather interior, the first feeling of that rumble that happens after your first turn of the key.

Jason is the third owner of the car, but both of the first two owners were ridiculously obsessed with keeping it clean, garaged, and well maintained. As of this article the car only has 34,000 miles and doesn’t seem to have a single chip, scratch, or fingerprint anywhere on it. Jason credits the car’s current appearance and brilliant shine to his father Bob Pjojian, who shared many of his detailing secrets. Bob is currently in search of a new 2015 Mustang GT Convertible, which will be his fourth Mustang. So we know that Jason has a great role model to follow.

Winter Car Care

JIM WEICHERDING

Well folks, it’s that time of year again.

The weather starts to get tougher on us, mind, body and spirit. But, it also takes a toll on our vehicles. Our everyday drivers.

There are plenty of very good and reputable automotive businesses advertising in this publication and now would be the perfect time to seek them out for winter car and truck care. Oil change. Tire pressure.

Top off all fluids and do a maintenance check on your vehicle before things get worse as the winter months approach.

I know that by the calendar on the wall that it is still the fall season but why wait until winter time to prepare for winter time? You can’t beat preventive maintenance on your ride. Rotate your tires and check tire pressure to combat the rough roads ahead.

Even now, leaves are on streets, roads and highways across the region. Be safe and drive cautiously with these road conditions.

Your vehicle can hydroplane on wet leaves just as well as on wet road surfaces during the fall season.

Crack in your windshield? Get that crack fixed or replace the windshield before that crack leads to real problems down the road.

Winter Projects & Builds JIM WEICHERDING I know, I know; it’s time to pull your hot rod, cool truck, muscle car and rat rod into the garage for the next five months because it’s New England and our weather is not conducive to hosting area car shows or cruise nights anymore this year and earlier next year.

March is just around the corner folks.

Honest.

After the holidays I’m thinking spring anyway regardless of how much snow we have on the ground or how cold it is outside. What about you?

You working on a cool project or build during the off season?

Want to tell everyone about it? Well, you can.

I’m looking for those projects and builds to be featured in this magazine over the next few months.

Doesn’t matter what it is either. I love everything automotive and it doesn’t matter what make, year or model project or build you are working on this winter.

I’d love to write about it.

I’m sure most of you reading this article know by now that I’m a Pontiac, GM and Chevy guy but that’s alright if you are not. If it’s worthy, I’ll write about it for you and for all of our readers. All you need to do is send me an email to jwpisces14@aol.com and put Winter Project & Builds in the Subject Box of the email in case it ends up in my spam mailbox holder.

Send some personal and vehicle information along with some photos so we can incorporate all that info into the feature article. Step-by-step photos are great but do not necessarily have to be sent in that fashion.

Project and Build photos can be anything that you want them to be. It can even be a special part of a vehicle and not a complete restoration if that’s what you prefer. Rocker panels, cab corners, rusty beds and quarter panels. Customized is cool too. Stereo installs. A/C units or engine swaps. Doesn’t matter. If it’s interesting to you then it’s interesting to our readers. Drum brakes to disc brakes is cool too.

I did that on my 1965 GTO a few years ago. It stops now instead of rolling through red lights and stop signs.

Winter Project and Builds are what I’m looking for.

Send them. I’ll see about publishing it.
