guys like that from the early 90's?

Hi All,

I used to be in the Buick scene back in the late 80's and early 90's with my Turbo Buicks, but got out of it for a while. Starting to get back into it a little now, and have been checking out websites for good parts combos, what folks are doing now with their cars, etc (I got my 87 T down to 12.1's back in '95, but now looking for quicker of course).

Anyway, as I've been cruzin websites, I was noticing I dont hear much about the guys that were the heavy hitters back when I was into it, like Jim D'Alessandro, Pete Barton, Buddy Cox, guys like that. What happened to all those guys? I've read some things about D'Alessandro like he was kinda shady, is that true? And who's the new heavy hitters nowadays?

Jim
