I know he's never fully recovered since the accident, and has not been cohearent since a clinical mishap in one of his intitial hosptial stays. Will call 21st Cent MC next week, his daughter Carrie runs the business with husband John Page, and try to confirm this story.

"That pure American brother, dull-eyed and empty-faced
races Sundays in Jersey in a Chevy stock super eight.
He rides `er low on the hip, on the side he's got Bound For Glory in red, white and blue flash paint.
He leans on the hood telling racing stories, the kids call him Jimmy The Saint.
Well the blaze and noise boy, he's gunnin' that b*tch loaded to blastin' point.
He rides head first into a hurricane and disappears into a point
And there's nothin' left but some blood where the body fell.
That is, nothin' left that you could sell...
just junk all across the horizon, a real highwayman's farewell.
And he said "Hey kid, you think that's oil? Man, that ain't oil that's blood"
I wonder what he was thinking when he hit that storm
Or was he just lost in the flood?' Springsteen

Lingenfelter Passing
I had to read that thread in off topic a few times for it to sink in.
I was lucky enough to meet John and speak to him on the phone several times(A friends car was there at the same time mine was). John was a very nice person, you never heard negative things about him...and I cherish the fact I have one of his tried and true engines and that He drove my car before it came back to me.
R.I.P. John, you'll be missed and the performance world will NOT be the same without you. :blueangel:
