“All of this is trophies from my stock car days and my boat racing days,” says Read as he points to a number of large trophies mounted on the wall of his workshop. There are also a number of plaques of various sizes and shapes depicting cars and boats. Pictures of cars and boats complement the trophies and help tell the story. “This was my first boat. It was a fifteen-foot runabout, with a Chevrolet 283 V8 engine in it.”
