Here
is my good friend Rich Rezes' "SLVRSTG" 87 Regal. It
boasts a 274 cu in off center Buick Motorsports stage 2 engine.
It has just gone 9.87 @ 136 with 1.33 shorts.. that equates to somewhere around
750hp. A pretty stout car I will say. With Rich launching off
the transbrake, be often trips the 60' beams with the REAR
tires, often carrying the front wheels more than 60 feet! Not
bad for an insurance guy huh?
NEWSFLASH!! Rich just broke his previous best with a 9.71@ 138.12 with a 1.34 60 foot!!

Here is a launch with Rich and Jack
Cotton going at it at Cecil County Raceway 10/9. Jack hurt the
differential in his car. Heh, seems Jack always hurts something
against Rich. Wonder if Jack is SKEERED! hahaha
Here is a video of the pass. Rich at 9.87, and a vid of Rich completing his final competition license run is right here , and finally, Rich running fArtie Paltz is here.
Here is a couple pics of a car I
did at work. Its a 55 BelAir 4 door that had a straight 6 in it.
It was converted to a V8 by me. All custom fabrication and
wiring from the dash forward was done by me. I am really proud
of how it came out. The pics here dont really do it justice. It
is a show quality job by far. The owner is ecstatic at how it
came out. I am currently waiting for the custom bent front pipes
and shortened driveshaft for use with the more modern TH350
trans. I will say this, I have over 40hrs into this
conversion. Its no simply undertaking. I mean, you could slap
the stuff together, and twisy tie the wires, but I soldered
everything, painted everything, etc..etc. Take a look!
