In 1960's, Tom Vigue Sr. a United States Navy Air Force Veteran who served during Vietnam, was on leave from California and heading back to family on the East Coast. With less than $500.00 he purchased a 1954 corvette, not liking the car but it was all he could afford and not knowing anything about cars; he began the trip across the United States travelling along legendary Route 66 towards the East Coast.

During his trek across the United States, the corvette that Tom had just purchased blew a head gasket. With no money and no help, he repaired that car with only tool he had. (an adjustable wrench ) The car started and made it back home and that began to pursue his passion for learning and building performance engines. Tom Sr. built performance engines as a hobby, drag racing weekends all over New England at Sandford Dragway, Winterport Dragway, Oxford Dragway and New England Dragway. While servicing in the military Tom Sr. specialized in jet engine technology and pursued a degree in engineering. Then there was Tom Jr. in the making. Photo 1971
