Thanks for the missing link.

Here's that bad boy, Tom.

I have a beautiful picture somewhere in my "stuff" showing the 2 1969 Camaros and the Corvette in the pits at Sanair. The 'Vette was running the 3x2bbl 427 IIRC at that point. When I get an opportunity I will scan and post here ... hopefully.

Different Vette, Tim.
The 67 PG car was the former Bob Pagano /Pete Fedun deal.

The driver name was Ed Elderkin in 1990 for the Corvette A/SA #1873. Pics to follow.

There was a NED Stock Circuit race at Island Dragway in 1971...I think it was anyway...

Dave was driving a '69 Camaro in A/S I think and Mark Mazotta was driving the blue Corvette....also running A/S

The Vette was really a cool car for back then and on 7" tires...


Both cars going 11.40 or there abouts.

We raced Dave after a few rounds and my partner redlighted.....I was standing right behind the line in the center....

Both cars went .05 under the records.....I was disappointed of course but it was a memorable event to me.

Dave's cars were always killer fast and from what I knew he was a great guy and obviously that is true....

Sorry to read of his passing.....He was definitely one of the best !

Here is a Photo of Team LeBrun that was taken at an All Star Event at Epping, Dave's Brother Bob drove the # 2 Camaro and Ed Elderkin drove the Corvette, Dave had many Corvettes in his early years but only owned ( 2 ) that Ed drove, this is the 2nd Vette and the last Vette that Ed drove for Dave, notice the Consecutive numbers ... Pretty Cool !

At E Town I think it was in the late 90s, Dave was in C and had to race Bob in A, they both dialed 9.99 to make it a heads up run with no breakout.

Two different classes and no breakout?
