Hadn't seen this mentioned here...i had recently been inquiring about John Leach's old modified 67 Vette and was informed by another member that his drag racing brother Joe had been shot during a hold up at his business and later died of his injuries!
RIP

No, but possibly the wrong section.
Joe was a Top Dragster guy I think, and a converter customer of mine in Ohio.
RIP

There was a very well attended candle light vigil at the Leach Brothers shop tonight. A Celebration of life service is being planned for next Saturday. Most on this sight probably didn't know the Leach family well as they didn't run Stock, Super Stock. I grew up Racing with/ against this family., they are a wonderful family and are very well known & respected in this part of the country.
