Post Need Your Help: Anyone know or have info on Chuck (Mr. Horsepower)?

Hi,
Well i have been trying to track down Chuck in an effort to see what ever happened to him to satisfy my curiousity and a lot of others too.

This is proving very dificult though. There are no listing for him (Chuck Riddeck), or his shop (Progressive Race Engine Development). He was in Weatherford but said he might be relocating to Bedford sometime this year.

I've checked online, called information, even called some local engine/auto places around there to see if any of them have heard of his shop, but strangely non of them have...

I've also checked with Chris and Jason and other Mods and no one knows what happened to him or has contact info.

It just seems wierd that someone would abruptly stop posting and not even tell anyone...

Can anyone help?
Thanks!

I am in Bedford all the time, and know a lot of local gearheads. Also being named Chuck, I think if I had met him it would stand out. Do you have any other info like what car(s) he drove?
