Car #: #K3
Driver (s) : Les Katona
Location: East Windsor
Date: 1970's

Comments: Probably my favorite Les Katona car of all time.  This car looked very clean and sat very level.  At a time when many were still running mostly salvage yard parts in the sportsman ranks, I think Les was starting to use quite a bit of ingenuity in his creations.... and that ingenuity made him hard to beat during the early to mid 70's in the Sportsman class at both EWS and Flemington.

Les is still getting it done at Lawrence Engineering in Trenton, along with daughter Gloria and son in law Carmen Scarpati.  Stop by and say hello to them the next time you need some parts for your race car or give them and/or even Mike McKinney Roger Laureno a call at 609-396-0280 for all your racing needs.

09/1405 Bill Hanna My God, look how classic this car is. Just clean lines, basic engineering and a real beauty to look at. You could really see a driver operate the controls when the cars were this open. Oh how GOOD those days were.
