READERS RIDE: 1981 Corve
JIM WEICHERDING This is one rare find. It’s a 1981 Corvette Convertible Caballista. Justin Sachs of Massachusetts is the proud owner of this awesome READERS RIDE. This is the only Corvette Convertible manufactured in 1981. A total of 50 of these Corvettes were produced in 1981. This particular Corvette was manufactured by the Dunham Coach company located in the state of New Jersey. This classic car was purchased and owned by Justin’s father, Paul Sachs. Sadly, Paul past away a few years ago. He loved this car more than life itself and now Justin tells everyone it is still his father’s car. He says he just washes it for him and drives it for him.
system and listens to Elvis, Johnny Maestro, The Temptations and Frankie Valli, just to name a few of those 50’s Musical Artists and Bands popular in that era. Before his father passed away, he called Justin and asked him to go to Las Vegas driving the Caballista there with him. Unfortunately, his
Justin drives the classic Corvette around to local car shows and cruises in many area charity runs with it. He also makes sure that he brings the car to the cemetery every time he takes it out so it can be close to his father whenever he leaves home to go cruisin. Also note, when Justin is driving the car he only play 50’s music on the Corvette’s stereo 12| Motorhead Magazine - September 2017

father never made it out of the hospital, but Justin kept his word and did take the trip to Las Vegas in the car with a photo placed in the door of him and his father when he was a little boy. Along the way to Las Vegas, Justin would stop and pick up rocks which now are placed by his gravesite. The photo of Justin and his father is still in the door of the 1981 Corvette Convertible Caballista where he plans on keeping it for years to come. Once Justin got the Corvette back to Massachusetts, he did what his father was afraid to do and made the car sound like an amazing ride. He did this with a 383, long tube hooker headers and a few other exhaust goodies. The classic Corvette is still a nice cruising machine but it certainly sounds the part of a nice strong
ette Convertible Caballista
corvette now. This is definitely one rare READERS RIDE and you won’t find another Classic Corvette like this anywhere else. You can see Justin’s Corvette Convertible Caballista this month at The Great Pumpkin Festival Car Show, Saturday, September 17th, 2017, 10am till 3pm at the North Smithfield High School on 412 Greenville Road, in Smithfield, Rhode Island and at this years Northeast Classic Car Event, Saturday, September, 30th, 2017, 10am till 2pm at the Adesa Boston on 63 Western Ave., Framingham, Massachusetts. This car show events benefits the Mass Vest-A-Dog that purchase bullet proof vests for police dogs. Do not miss either of these car show events. I will definitely be attending these events with Justin and his wife Amanda and their gorgeous 1981 Corvette Convertible Caballista. See you there!

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 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. Every one of us can recall what seemed like the greatest day of our life when we got behind the wheel of our very own piece of American History. For Jason Pjojian of Cranston RI, YOUR INCOME that amazing sense of ownership and pride came to IS YOUR reality this past summer when he CREDIT got his hands on his immaculate 1997 SVT COBRA.
No Credit? Bad Credit? Ed Yessaian
NO PROBLEM!
Any Credit Any Budget We Can Help
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.

Etch shuts off his vehicle lights and turns up one of his favorite Led Zeppelin songs playing on the stereo system in his runaway GTO. A few miles down the road Etch decides to pull over at an all night diner and grab some coffee and breakfast. He slows OUTLAW down to a crawl and finds a pathway that leads him behind the diner and out of sight from any passing police cruisers and the eyes of a police officer that would obviously be looking for the wanted GTO muscle car and it’s driver. Etch walks into the diner back door and stops dead in his tracks. He sees a couple police officers sitting and eating breakfast with their hot coffees in the front booth talking between themselves about him and his GTO. One of the police officers looks across the diner and makes eye contact with Etch. He resumes drinking his coffee and then looks back at Etch standing at the diner back door. Etch doesn’t move a hair.
Moments later, he decides to follow this unexpected scenario through and see where it takes him. Etch slowly walks towards one of the diner’s far end table and chairs and sits down never looking back across the diner at the two police officers still eating their breakfast and drinking their coffees. A waitress walks over to the table and offers Etch a menu. “Hi handsome, want a cup of coffee to start with before you order something to eat?” Etch holds his head up and looks past her body now blocking the view between the police officers and himself. “Sure, light no sugar.” Etch stares across the diner at the police officers while the waitress turns around to go get his cup of coffee. When she is no longer in the sight path between Etch and the police officers he puts his head back down and reaches for the local automotive magazine resting on the chair next to him at his table. The waitress returns with his coffee

and takes out her order pad. “What’s it gonna be?” asks the waitress. “Two eggs-scrambled hard, two sausage links, hash browns, wheat toast and a small glass of orange juice. Oh, and the apple cinnamon pancakes with maple syrup.” replies Etch. “You got it!” said the waitress. She turns and walks away from Etch now reading an article in the local automotive magazine. Etch sees one of the police officers get up from his side of the window booth and start to walk towards the back of the diner where he is sitting. “Oh great,” Etch mumbles under his breath. The police officer walks right up to where Etch is sitting and stops in front of his table.

Pat Beauchamp’s 1970 Mercury Cougar Con ED YESSAIAN With the 50th Anniversary of the Mercury Cougar now upon us, fans of this wildly popular model finally started getting the attention that they truly deserved. Personally, I have always been a fan of the Cougars, with my favorites being the 67-68 and the 87-88 styles. The Cougar during most generations was based on the Ford Mustang platform but with a luxury twist to make it more appealing to an additional segment of the population. Throughout the 60’s and 70’s some high performance models made their presence known on the streets and strips as well as on the boulevard on Saturday nights. And as many of you know, I’m a big fan of convertibles, so when I went out in search of a feature car to address the need for some Cougar coverage, what better choice was there than Pat Beauchamp’s immaculate 1970 Cougar Convertible that has been his life’s work since 1989. Pat admitted that the Cougar was actually his second car, when he was just 16 years old, as he had just purchased a 68 Chevelle SS that needed a ton of work. His father later showed up with the Cougar that didn’t immediately tickle his fancy but soon won his heart and became his undying passion. The car from the get go was a running and driving “fixer upper” and was all there, with the only major surgery needed being the floors. Pat and his father tackled the floors themselves and Pat’s Uncle Al Gil at Roger’s Automotive took care of the exhaust, brakes, and final tuning to get it rolling reliably for a long period of time. The Cougar was initially Pat’s daily driver and took him to vocational school where he enrolled in Auto Body classes, where he was able to re20| Motorhead Magazine - September 2017

place the quarters, conquer some rust issues, and refinish the car in the factory Wimbledon White. Once the car was looking pretty sharp, he decided to freshen up the drivetrain, with increased performance in mind. The factory 351 engine was bored .030 over and stuffed with new pistons and a Cam Dynamics Cam. The heads were next to get a little cleanup work and all new Crane Roller Rockers and pushrods. Topping off the now stout powerplant, Pat bolted on an Edelbrock Performer Intake and Holley 600 cfm carb with electric choke. Transmission chores are accomplished by an FMX unit stuffed with a Trans-Go shift kit and TCI converter. A Ford 9

inch then puts the power to the ground, by way of a limited slip differential and Richmond 3.50 gears. The package as a whole performs flawlessly and you would think Pat is content with the finished product. But like many of his he has quite a few plans for future improvements including a March Performance serpentine belt drive system, rear disc brakes, and eventually an EFI set up. Sounds like quite an impressive “to-do” list and personally, I can’t wait to check it out again somewhere down the line. Until then keep your top down, radio up, and foot on the floor!

Bay State Corvette Club vs Mustangs of Massachusetts ED YESSAIAN Every once in a while I attend an event that I just have to add to my “must see” list for the following years. Last year I attended an epic battle between Mustangs and Corvettes, hosted by two local clubs Bay state Corvette Club (www. baystatecorvetteclub.com) and Mustangs of Massachusetts (www.mustangsofmassachusetts.com) and had such a great time that this event is now added to the list of events I will continue to attend in coming years. One of the reasons I couldn’t wait to catch this year’s event was because there’s just not that many Corvette guys willing to take their shiny pride and joy down the dragstrip.

Local favorite sweetheart Karri Khoury would eventually bow out leaving Brett Dacko in his 1994 Corvette to try his luck against Mustang Super Sniper Steven Knight. Knight would have no problem making short work of the Corvette with an 11.47 pass on an 11.45 dial vs Dacko’s 14.26 on a 13.91 dial. At the end of the festivities the challenge was once again made to do it again next year, with the Bay State Corvette guys promising a different outcome in 2018. The only problem with that prediction is that at next year’s event Motorhead’s Ed Yessaian might be in the house with his Fast Street Mustang, looking to show some Corvettes his taillights.

New England Dragway and Motorhead’s Jim Weicherding Team Up to Benefit Safe Kids
Safe Kids New Hampshire Partners with Buckleupallofus for a Child Passenger Safety Car Seat Check Up hosted by New England DragWay, Saturday, August, 5th, 2017 Safe Kids New Hampshire is Sponsored by CHAD, Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock located in Lebanon and Bedford, New Hampshire. Jim was approached by this agency’s InjuryPrevention Director at his exhibition booth in the Safe Kids Worldwide PREVCON Event located at the Waterfront Marriott Hotel in Baltimore, Maryland, July 26th thru the 29th, 2017. Impressed by Jim’s Child Safety Cartoon Characters and Coloring Campaign Materials, combined with his quality artwork and content specifically created for Kids, Safe Kids New Hampshire requested that Jim create a new Child Passenger Safety Coloring Sheet featuring Buckleupallofus for a CPS Event being held in their state the following weekend at a popular drag racing venue close to their
children’s hospital. Jim went the creative next step and illustrated nostalgia drag cars with a drag racer up close image wearing a seat belt and Buckleupallofus telling kids that “Drag Racers Always Buckle Up!” for them to (Take Home), Color In and Proudly Display on Family Refrigerators across New England and New York State. Thousands of drag racing fans and enthusiasts attend these popular venues every week and these Kids & Families are now taking home coloring formats that can effectively help prevent traffic related injuries and potentially even save lives. Everyone attending these popular venues arrives in vehicles and returns home in these same vehicles. Jim’s Buckleupallofus & Automotive Events Coloring Sheets, Coloring Posters and Coloring Books are great ways to creatively convey traffic safety and buckle up safety visuals and messages to Kids & Families with the end
results being displayed on family refrigerators and bedroom walls colored in by Kids. Jim will be providing Safe Kids New Hampshire and CHAD with more creative (Take Home) Refrigerator Ready Coloring Formats and Products reminding Kids & Families to always wear seat belts when driving and riding in vehicles. Jim’s Award-Winning Child Passenger Safety Cartoon Character, Buckleupallofus, combined with his unique and creative Kids Safety Coloring Artwork and Original Illustration Style, will definitely get the messages across to Kids & Families at Drag Racing and Race Events, not only in the New England and New York State area, but also Nationwide in the months ahead related to Traffic Safety and Buckle Up Safety. Visit www.CHaDKids.org and watch for Jim’s Printable Kids Safety Coloring Cartoons related to multiple safety issues facing Kids & Families every day across the USA.

Amphibious Golf Cart!
Billy is at it again! Bill Randall from Bill Randall General Contracting started off with a basic golf cart and customized it in such a way that it’s so unique and outrageous, as seen in last month’s issue. This month you will see he had a challenge to make an amphibious golf cart, so he came up with this version which really does drive down the road then down, the beach, into the water and just keeps going!! Yes it does float and will
drive in the water also. And, for the kids, he made this kids’ golf cart which matches the original golf cart. Just like the amphibious one, it also has a disco ball and everything. Funny thing is Bill doesn’t play golf but he does drive down to his boat with his golf carts. Stop by Brewers Cowesett Marina and Chelo’s Waterfront Bar and Grill to check it out. Next month there will be even more outrageous things coming out stay tuned!

Everyone loves an auto show. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great place to marvel at new technology and the latest, greatest automotive models. So as we approach the season for a few of the biggest shows, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s take a look back at the story of this essential part of car culture.
The First Shows Before the automobile, people got around on bicycles. And before bicycles, there was the horse. Probably explains why there are so many equestrian statues in our cities. Compared to regular, old-fashioned walking, practically anything was progress. But by the end of the 19th century, car shows started replacing bicycle shows in popularity. The first

motor show took place in Paris in 1898 at the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous Grand Palais. 118 years later, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still one of the most important auto shows in the world.
Coming to America It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long for Americans to organize an auto show of their own. New York City hosted the first U.S. auto show in 1900. Then big cities like Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Buffalo, Cleveland, and Detroit soon followed. Eventually, it seemed every city got their very own car show. In those early years, thousands of people flocked to see the latest models and groundbreaking technology. If you wanted to see the future, car shows were where you went. Never shy about self-promotion, manufacturers used these events for any important announcements. The public, already in love with the automobile, embraced every aspect of the car. People craved to see just how an idea on paper turned into a machine on the road.
The Future Auto Shows are still highly anticipated events for car lovers everywhere. While there are similar expositions focusing on other cultural hallmarks, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to rival

By KAYLA CONTI Dan Belcher has been an automobile enthusiast since he was very young. Some may refer to him as a “gearhead” still to this day. He was just a kid when his brother began teaching him the basics of auto mechanics. He remembers a while back as a kid, learning how to grease fittings. His brother showed him how to grease one fitting and left the rest up to him. Once he had the front end fittings all greased, he began unknowingly trying to grease the brake bleeders. He didn’t know any better being just a kid. Though his passion for cars kept him learning through all his mistakes. Dan had always found the look of C10’s appealing. His search began a couple years ago. He came across this 1970 C10 last year to add to his collection of classics. It was basically everything he was looking

JUMPIN’ JACK FLASH! JIM WEICHERDING
Jumpin’ Jack Flash, it’s a Gas, Gas, Gasser. This beautiful 1939 Chevrolet 5 window Coupe Gasser is owned by Bike Mike from Central Massachusetts. He purchased this badass gasser four years ago. Its last known residency was the state of Oregon. Now, it’s a Mass Gasser! A Nickey 502 motor rests under the hood and I use the word (rests) with some reservations. The motor packs a punch and features Roller EVERYTHING! This Classic Car used to run the upper northwest dragways under the name RAT TRAP 2, but Mike didn’t like climbing into a break away roll-”cage” and having it read (RAT TRAP) painted on the body panels outside his newly acquired gasser drag car. He is definitely NOT a Rat. Mike changed the name to “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” - “ Its a Gas, Gas, Gasser. “ This new name seemed much more appropriate because of the way the car jumps with the slightest touch of the throttle. It is a sanitary build with zero rust, or body filler, and “YES”, this 1939 Chevy Gasser Classic Car is 100% steel. Even the tilt nose is all steel. Redline on the tach shows 9000 rpm but Mike has never tached it up over 5000. When he bought this rare gasser the seller said to make note of the blue piece of rubber going around the steering wheel at top dead center and told him to “NEVER EVER” remove it. When Mike asked why he 48| Motorhead Magazine - September 2017
should not remove it the previous owner told him, “Because even with the slightest tap on the gas

seat, that you won’t know if you jerked the wheel to the right, or left, and you want to be dead top center on the steering wheel aimed straight ahead when your front tires touch down on the black top from your inevitable wheelie stand.” He has never removed the blue band from the top of the gasser steering wheel. Mike told me that he has done plenty of wheelies with his Gasser Chevrolet since purchasing it four years ago. He said, “It’s a scary sweetheart of a Hot Rod. It’s definitely a Jumpin’ Jack Flash, it’s a Gas, Gas, Gasser!” “Buckle Up Baby!”

ORANGE C Brian MacKenzie’s 72 Chevy C10 Pickup
ED YESSAIAN As many of you know, much of my vehicular attention focuses around drag racing and non-streetable vehicles but every once in a while as I stroll the aisles at a car show or cruise night, I catch an extremely well executed build that I like to affectionately call a “Muscle Truck”. The term “Muscle Truck”, to me is defined as a vehicle that addresses our need for power, performance, and handling but retains the functionality of having a pickup truck. While there are of course those rarely driven “show trucks” my personal favorites are those that get driven on a regular basis such as Brian MacKenzie’s 1972 Chevrolet C10 that makes frequent appearances throughout the New England car show scene. Brian picked up this truck roughly four years ago and it has been a rolling project ever since. The truck was already refinished in a custom orange metallic and the engine had just been refreshed and was ready for action. Rebuilding chores took place around the truck’s original block with a four bolt main that was stroked to a 383 and stuffed with all the good stuff such as a Crane cam, Crane Roller Rockers, Speed Pro pistons, and hardened rods. The 700R4 transmission was prepped by my good friends at Trans-medic Transmission in Salem, NH so it is definitely up to the task of handling whatever the 383 motor can throw through it. Yukon 3.73 gears help spin the tires that just happened to be wrapped around a killer set of Raceline Burst 5 wheels. For that occasional instance that Brian needs to come to a screeching halt, a complete Baer brake set up from the C5 Corvette was fitted by the good folks of AZ ProPerformance. The guys at AZ ProPerformance also supplied a set of their dropped spindles

that are just the beginning of the completely custom front and rear suspension set ups. According to Brian, “every single nut, bolt, and component in the suspension is brand new”, which helps drop the truck 4.5” in the front and 5.0” in the rear. All four corners are comfortably dampened by Ridetec adjustable shocks. Brian also added that the frame was notched, reinforced, and stiffened to allow for the absolutely incredible stance. Overall, the truck

CRUSH cruises very comfortably and at any moment can throw you back into the seats, which also happen to be a one of a kind design, handmade for Brian’s truck. The seats themselves are a Buddy Bucket design with a diamond stitched pattern that beautifully accents the well thought out interior. Every single piece of glass was replaced with high quality factory pieces to insure that Brian has a crystal clear view of the road ahead. And as we inquired about the road ahead, aka future plans for the truck, Brian didn’t really have anything in particular in mind, just the usual response that we get from most of our readers, that “it’s never really, truly DONE”. We know from experience that’s the truth, but of course that’s what makes us MOTORHEADS!! CALL 401-965-9012 TO ADVERTISE

GO GRANNY GO!
99 Year old Roxy Yessaian is still hitting the Car Shows
By XANDER ANTHONY
At only eight months old, I really don’t have too many responsibilities, aside from bringing you Motorheads all the hottest rides I find in my travels. However, one of the things that have become part of my daily routine is to make sure I stop into Bayberry at Emerald Court, in Tewksbury, Massachusetts to check on my Great Grandmother, Roxy Yessaian, who has recently turned an amazing 99 years old but has the energy and spirit of someone probably half that age. Roxy has been a Motorhead for as long as she can remember. Xander Anthony Yessaian She recalls as teenagers how her brother Vi used to make his own motorcycles and they would go riding all the time. Vi was a master mechanic so it was only fitting that he passed on that talent to many of the younger generation in the family including his grandson, Outlaw 10.50 Champion Dave Nadeau and his nephew, Motorhead writer Ed Yessaian. Roxy told stories about how Vi had an undying passion for antique cars and spent much of his leisure time restoring and cleaning them. Eventually Roxy would meet another fine gentleman just as interested in cars, her late husband Avedis “Big Ed” Yessaian. According to Roxy, Big Ed only bought Mercury automobiles and they had to be black. My father (Lil Ed) recalls spending endless summer days
helping wash those black cars and it wasn’t long before he too, bought nothing but black cars, mostly from Ford Motor Company as well. Roxy just shakes her head at their obsession with black cars and eventually got herself a green Ford Taurus that she drove until she was 92 years old! Roxy’s nieces, nephews, and grandchildren affectionately named her Hot Rod Roxy because of an unofficial rumor that she had more speeding tickets than even Motorhead writer Ed Yessaian. There was even a rumor once that she was going to make an appearance at New England Dragway to compete in the annual ED DAY Charity Challenge, but it turns out she just enjoyed the car show that day, which is still one of the things she
really looks forward to as many of the antique cars she recognizes as having in her family when they were actually brand new. Imagine her excitement after moving into Bayberry, when she heard they have an annual Classic Car roundup. Saturday, August 26th was a day Roxy looked forward to for weeks. She had carried the flyer for the car show around and reminded my Dad almost
every day about it. On that morning she woke up at the crack of dawn, ready to see the parade of antiques and classics rolling into the parking lot and to enjoy a cookout and some outdoor games. Roxy was thrilled when they finally arrived and couldn’t resist sitting in every single car and also telling the owners how “Xander writes for a car magazine, the baby does, he writes articles”. Seeing the joy on my Great Grandmother’s face as she strolled through the Car Show is something you just can’t explain. It made me realize that it is simply my duty to start a project car that she can watch and possibly even ride in if my Dad finishes it quick enough. Personally, you guys know me as the Mopar Guru, so I can only hope my Dad finds something in that realm. Perhaps one day soon we’ll be pulling up to Bayberry in a tricked out Hemi Cuda to take Roxy for an ice cream run. In the Yessaian family, a new car ends up in our driveway every other day so the fact that my Dad would start a project car for an eight month old isn’t too far-fetched. You heard it here first- Xander Y- OUT!!

ANTIQUE MILITARY V
By JIM WEICHERDING When you think about classic auto shows and cruise nights I bet you never think about classic military vehicle showcases and events. You should. I was very excited recently when a whole bunch of these antique military vehicles and their owners arrived at one of my recent A&W Kids Nights to show their support for my community safety outreach efforts and weekly venues hosted at A&W on Route 44 located in Smithfield, Rhode Island. The parking lot filled up quickly with a dozen huge antique military trucks, pick up trucks and jeeps arriving from across the state. It was an amazing sight to see these USA war veterans and military personnel driving their antique military vehicles to help attract kids and families to my event.

The Equalizer a Crucial Component of Your Car Audio System
GEORGE ARAKELIAN, JR. A Custom Car Stereo Center
An audio system of a car plays a vital role to play different genre of music. For a common person, this device is just like a medium to play his favorite songs and beats. But, this small device has many critical functions that can change the whole quality of audio you are listening. There are several units of this device but in this article I will discuss some basic aspects of equalizer. A car audio equalizer is a complex tone regulator for the system, fine-tuning several diverse frequencies. Equalizers are of countless forms and types. The most familiar types are parametric, graphic and quasi-parametric equalizers. Of the three types, the most commonly used are parametric equalizers because it is much simpler and easier to operate. An audio equalizer must only be adjusted once to defeat the acoustic setbacks of your vehicle and adjusted from time to time when fine tuning the system. Equalizers are not utilized to boost the frequency but rather they are used to slash a frequency because too much boosting can harm the speakers of your components. Car audio equalizers confer you the capacity to tune the audio system to customize to the sound quality of your own choice. When you want an excellent sound music experience there are various features
of your system that you must take into account. This is the role of equalizers, crossovers and other signal processors which will automatically modify your system to have it more useful. A car equalizer is the most significant accessory that should be set up in your vehicle if you desire a great sound which will emit from your speakers. In other words, car audio equalizers control the sound and music of your car stereo system controlling several frequencies that transpire when a song is played. In order to acquire the finest sound quality for your audio system, you need to fine tune your equalizer and have it attuned to the sort of songs you listen to everyday. An equalizer is not purely for fine tuning your system but it is to extremely boost the quality and type of music that you listen to in your car stereo. As a matter of fact, there are plenty of car equalizers that are accessible in the car audio market and you must search for one that will match your needs.
If you sincerely love music, then you can do something about your car audio system to get the best possible quality sound. Possibly it might cost you several hundreds of dollars but the great sound of music radiating from your car speakers is utterly worth it. Be sure to opt for the known models that will guarantee performance at their best levels. In this manner, you will have an audio system that will serve you up for more years to come. You might not be cognizant with the car accessories that you require so its best to confer with an expert if you wish to purchase the best car equalizer for your vehicle. Most of the time, it has been noticed that people find it difficult to control and tune their equalizer. Last but not least, if you do not know the exact uses of this device then do not mess with it. Improper use of this device can totally mess up the sound quality of your stereo system. So, it is better to consult an expert to install an equalizer in your car, call A Custom Car Stereo today for your equalizer.

CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY MONTH
By JIM WEICHERDING
safety and remind family members and friends that see the finished coloring cartoons proudly displayed on refrigerators in family homes across the region to also be safer in their daily lives. I have a lot of support for my creative safety efforts from community businesses, host locations like restaurants, diners, malls, shopping centers, plazas, art museums, grocery stores and libraries that display my Child Passenger Safety Mascot Balloon at events and pass out thousands of coloring cartoons and materials to kids every day, every week and every month of the year.
Every year, over the past six years, the Publisher likes to feature some informational articles that directly affect the lives of kids and families related to traffic safety. This is an automotive magazine and I pass out a lot of these issues to kids and adults at area classic car shows and cruise nights across New England from April thru the end of October on a weekly basis. So, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfectly fitting to on occasion, feature an article that benefits our readers and their families as well as entertain them at least a couple of issues each year. September is National Child Passenger Safety Month each year and this years focus week is September 17th thru the 23rd, 2017.
Buckleupallofus. 20 years later, I have a giant Buckleupallofus Balloon Attraction that stands more than ten feet tall, Coloring Posters, Coloring Books, Stickers, Fridge Magnets and (Take Home)
September 23rd is National Car Seat Check Up Day across the USA and the Publisher, along with the staff at MotĂśrhead Magazine, strongly encourage anyone with a young child using a car seat to go to the nearest police department and car seat clinic to have those car seats properly checked by a certified tech in your community. It could save their lives. I have been blessed with artistic talents, writing skills and creative capabilities that allow me to reach out to kids and families about their overall well being focusing on many topics regarding their safety, but the one closest to my heart is traffic safety. I started reaching out to kids at area car shows and cruise nights back in 1997 with simple coloring pages featuring my Award-Winning Child Passenger Safety Cartoon Character Mascot,
Materials I pass out to kids and adults at more than 100 Classic Car Shows, Cruise Events and Community Festivals & Family Fairs. Everything I hand out to kids to take home at these popular venues has safety themes and coloring cartoons for them to learn about their
My biggest support system and advocates of my creative community outreach efforts to help keep kids safer at events and coloring cartoon distribution locations in their communities are police officers and firefighters. These New England Police Departments and Fire Departments Chiefs, Deputy Chiefs, Majors, Ranking Officers and Personnel are always showing up at my Classic Car Shows, Cruise Nights and Community Events to help pass out Coloring Cartoons and Materials to all of the kids and families. I make a phone call and on the day of the event Police Officers & Firefighters are there to help me reach as many kids as possible about their safety. I cannot thank them enough for their hard work and support for my efforts to try and prevent injuries and potentially save lives. Patriots Diner, located on Founders Drive in Woonsocket, Rhode Island has been hosting a Buckleupallofus Kids Night every Monday and a Buckleupallofus Cruise Event is on Sunday, Sept. 10th, 4pm till dark. Everyone is welcome to attend. Please bring the kids. A lot of Give Aways will be handed out for free!

SPEED ON THE WATER By JUDY SALVADORE
On the last weekend of August, the shores were lined with speed-loving spectators to watch
dozens of high performance race boats from all over the country at the 3rd Annual Fall River Grand Prix.
Eleven classes of V-bottom and catamaran boats
raced, ranging in size from 20’ to 50’. Cranston’s Jimmy Cazzani, the throttle man and owner of the 42’ Platinum catamaran sponsored by Alex and Ani, placed second in the Extreme Class which includes boats reaching speeds up to 200 MPH.
