In 1969, Chris Petris was 18 years old, and his automotive journey began by assembling a B/SM 1967 Camaro for the drag strip. Within a short time, Petris became an Automotive Service Excellence (ASE)–certified master car and truck technician while performing service manager duties at the Eckler’s Corvette service center. This led to technical writing opportunities with major Corvette magazines and Corvette parts suppliers. Later, Petris created his own business that focused on Corvette engine, drivetrain, and suspension modifications.
