Al Leake was THE REAL DEAL! A genius at car prep and set-up AND a magnificent DRIVER... but that's not the real story!
Al would share his tire pressures, spring rates, carb jet specs, etc. at the drop of a hat! Not to mention jumping in to aid a competitor in fixing a broken racer...
He was one of the brethren of Vintage (& SCCA) racing. Al wanted to compete (and beat!) only the best... even if he had to pitch in and make the competition better with his help.
My prayers are with Al's family, and my condolences to all of the racing fraternity for our profound loss.
