what a sad day for his family and the racing culture. One of the sport's true leaders.

Man.. no one cares about John Lingenfelter?

RIP John... we love your corvettes...

Thats really sad. I don't really know what to say. Truely a legend.

[Mr1der]

that does suck, but atleast the Vettes will live on, I wonder if they're gonna make some memorial additions?

[SmallBrownSilvia]

Yeah but HE was the one who built them, mostly. It wouldn't be a Lingenfelter without him.

Damn, I would've loved to see what he could have pulled off for the Sport Compact drag cars. Granted it's a Cavalier but still. I honestly think him and his team would have, and still maybe, would have been the first into the 5's (rwd). Hell they just set a new record at Texas for a 6.71 pass. A true Pioneer to the automotive game.

NOOOO!!!!! This is almost as bad as Dale Earnhardt dying (to me at least). RIP John

I've only met John twice, but he was a pretty cool guy. I know some guys who knew him pretty well and nobody had anything bad to say about him. He hasn't been running the company for about a hear and a half since his accident, his wife is running the office and his son in law has been taking care of the shop.

John did bring a lot to the automotive world, he will be missed.

A sad day for all car enthusiasts. But he lived and died doing what he loved. We will miss you John.

he was a great man. He definitely left his legacy b ehind

That's such a tragedy. John really was on top of the world- he was the perennial Supercar Shootout winner. His record-setting run in his Cavalier is a bittersweet, but perfect swansong. His name was synonymous with extreme, high quality craftsmanship. He will be truly missed.
