Re: Dave Lebrun R.I.P.
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 !
