Copied and pasted from TB.com where I replied to you....
Jimmy D. was/is a shady character from what I heard and I think him and his shop 1/4 Mile Performance are done (as far as I know) and as such he's no longer around... Pete at ANS is still around, but I haven't seen or heard about his car in a long time so I'll ASSume it's sold.... Buddy Cox (another guy I haven't heard about in quite some time) so I'll ASSume he's out of the Buick game....
As far as Heavy hitters now the #1 guy is Bill Anderson here's a look at his car... It is the Quickest/Fastest single turbo Buick in all the land....

There are several other guys I can mention, but you should've heard about John Gallina with his SS/DX Turbo Buick (fastest car in NHRA Super Stock and the first guy to break the 7 second barrier in SS).... Here's his website....
www.fastbuicks.com
There are several other names I can throw out there that would be considered heavy hitters or Big Dogs in the Buick community.... One other name that really comes to mind is Richie Kibler because he has been doing pretty awesome lately racing HU in a few of the 1/8th mile classes like Outlaw Pure Street and Limited Street....
Hopefully you remember LC (Lawrence Conley) and Kenny Duttweiler??? They no longer race Buicks but they are both still very involved in this community building/tuning cars and Kenny was involved with the R&D of the new TA Performance
