John Boughers had the car painted red in the late 70's when Champion Spark Plugs picked up sponsorship for the car. They paid for the red paint scheme.

Now John has the "Virginia Gentelman" with a broke axel. Hopefully it'll be fixed soon and then back to the track

Cool pictures Jerry, I believe the corvette was Johns first race car and he was about 65 when he started racing.
