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 |
