I am saddened to hear that one of my true hero's of our sport has passed on. Red not only was a expert tech man but he also was very ingenious. I still use the custom made checking tools to aid me in assembling motors he had made for me almost 40 years ago. These where truly state of art for the times. Red was definetly a great influence on the sport and kept everyone on the straight and narrow. When Red checked you in tear down you knew you had been checked by the best. He was tough but always had the time to explain the proper way of doing things; checking volumes , piston domes, stroke, deck etc. I learned alot from the guy, he really knew his stuff. ...Hope to see you in tear down someday again Red (my piston domes will be right) Bill Davis
