I was just reading his Small Block Chevy Book yesterday.

Damn.

If the administrator is considering sending an e-mail note of condolence to the family from this site <signed> by a list of members, please count me in.

I went ahead and did one from myself....

prayers to his family.......did not know him personally, but followed much of his career

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.
