As most of you know, John was a great asset to the Corvette
community. I got this e-mail today from the National Corvette
Museum and thought I'd pass it on.
Commemorative Brick to Be Placed In Memory of John Lingenfelter
In memory of John Lingenfelter and at the request of Corvette
friends, a large brick will be placed in our brick walkway to
commemorate his love and support of Corvette. John
Lingenfelter, founder of Lingenfelter Performance Engineering,
passed away December 25th, 2003. John had been in a
semi-comatose state since November 2002 when he entered into a
coma during surgery that was necessary due to a racing
accident in Pomona, California in October 2002. He was owner
and operator of Lingenfelter Performance Engineering in
Decatur, Indiana for the past 30 years and competed in Sport
Compact Drag Racing with NHRA. If you are interested in making
a donation to the John Lingenfelter memorial brick, contact
our membership department at: becky@corvettemuseum.com or call
(800) 53-VETTE.
