i :| checked on the website and media for this but i guess if it happened lil while ago..... i will not make assumptions till i see it on his website. :| :cry: If it is true an aftermarket Legend will be lost this day. :cry:

Very sad indeed.Certainly won't be forgotten.RIP John. :cry:

[blah]

wow, think about how much he did for the corvette tuning industry. He put the corvette back on the map with his upgrades. His name was becoming a house hold name. You couldnt talk about vettes without mentioning him. He will definately be missed, hopefully his sons, or daughters, or wife will take over operations.

Man, thats really sad. his corvettes were truly bad ass and his mods turned the vette into one of the most fearsome competitors on the track and the strip. Im sad to see him go and wish I knew more about him. RIP

A sad day for the American racing and car scene. What the man could do with a car was nothing short of phenomenal.
