Stu Evans played Hockey for the Detroit Red Wings. Later he owned a Lincoln Mercury Dealership. He teamed up with Chris Holbrook. Chris and Stuart Evans Jr ran IHRA Pro Stock. Chris was the IHRA Pro Stock champ in I believe 1999. He is still active running a S/S Mustang. Holbrook Racing Engines is alive and well in the Detroit area. I do not know if Chris is still associated with them or not. Doug

The race operation was run out of the Livonia store. In early 2002 they started having cash flow problems so they shut down the race operation. Eventually they closed the Southgate and Clinton TWP stores.
