Insert catch phrase here Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,098 Joined: 23-December 03 From: Michigan Member No.: 20 |
I hate to say this but I didn't even realize he was in a coma. What kind of accident did he have a year ago? He's one of the guys who I think really did a lot for the small block Chevy in racing over the years.

Here are the original press releases: http://www.lingenfelter.com/JLStatus.asp
If you want a good final memory of him, you might download this video clip: http://www.z06vette.com/media/lpe_bb.wmv It is a large clip, over 13 Megs, but it shows a couple of his twin-turbo C5's at the drag strip briefly and then John is interviewed by some press. He discusses one TT C5 there which makes over 900 hp and the owner says it passed Texas emission test. It trapped at over 151 that day. John was having a great time. I too was a customer. Bob |
