Red began racing in 1964 when he hit the track with a 1962 Chevy Impala.  He then changed cars to a 1966 Chevy 427 Belair 4- speed.  This '66 was the original Semi-Hustler.  Red ran the Semi-Hustler mainly at the York US 30 strip, in York, PA.  In the early days, he also ran a '65 Hemi-Super Stock.  As with many MANDRA members, Red took a break from the strip when he and his wife; Sid, started their family.

 

Soon, Red could no longer keep his passion for the drags dormant.  He purchased a replica of his '66 Belair  427 in 2004.  With a few little modifications, including a Power Glide transmission, the newest Semi-Hustler was ready for the strip.  Red raced causally, as time and money permitted.  He joined MANDRA in 2005.  In addition to this car he is working on rebuilding a 4 speed '66 Belair.  This car won't be ready for action any time soon!
