Bud Lefevre update
 

Saw Bud today in a nurseing home NOT doing good. As his cancer is spreading thought out.
After getting his IHRA pure stker & having to wait 20-25 yrs to race it sure is a shame.
None of us know how long we have left so DON'T take any day for granted...

Thanks Tom for the update on Bud. I met Bud at Indy in 2002 when he was driving Capt. Jacks wagon. It's a shame, bad things happen to good people. I will keep him in my prayers. Mike

Bud has left his mark on the sport as much if not more than many and has done it in more ways than one. He exemplifies someone who's approach to the sport is with no less heart and soul than a true champion. In reading his stuff, following his exploits and knowing he had been working to take the Malibu to "the next step" this is truly a genuine heartbreaker. In my book Bud will forever be immortalilzed as one of sportsman drag racing's greats. I only hope he hears this before it's too late. :(

Bud shoe'd my Turismo once, just to get out and have some fun. He's truly a great guy. Glad I got to hang out with him a few times over the years.

Prayers are with you.

Re: Bud Lefevre update
 

Bud is a great guy, besides drag racing we both shared the love of building drag models, and he and I are both in the same line of work, in fact we teamed up once on a collision that was in southern Michigan, just north of his Toledo base, and Bud did the needed legwork for me. Helped out considerably having someone that I knew & trusted be able to assist.
We're still trying to locate someone to produce scale decal sheets of "Sportsman" decals that are so sorely needed for us that build in 1/24 scale.
Be well my friend, fight hard. My thoughts & prayers are with you.
