Life This has to cover two schools so here we go: For those who may not remember me I'm an Army brat and attended Rogers (Newport,Rhode Island) in my Junior year, 1968-69. I drove a blue MGA, and an old VW Microbus. I moved to MI in 1969 for my Senior year and attended Cousino in Warren, graduating in 1970.

We do a fair amount of GM and Chrysler (DCX) racing projects in the U.S. and Europe and build for several independent race car constructors, also quite a few race teams in endurance racing, Trans-Am, Indy cars (CART), Nascar, IRL, boats and airplanes.
