Top Photo:
Leck in his
second year of racing (according to Bobby Ely) is shown in the old
hand-me-down 115L coach, that was made available when the Tremont’s built the
beautiful new pinto for Chuck Ely, also in the photo.
Second Photo: Leck posing next to the famous Hellwig #37 in a car which he had a lot of success. Leck acquired this Hellwig seat when Doug Garrison retired.
Third Photo: My first instinct when I saw this
picture was Dave Leckonby, but then Bobby Ely was
quick to point out Billy Pauch also shoed this car. I’m now confused.
I know if this turns into a debate, I can get in touch with my go to Leck fan, and she’ll know for sure, for now, let the debate begin.
Fourth Photo: The always fast Leck puts the 3D machine through it’s paces on the high banks back in 1986.
Fifth Photo: Dave at Syracuse in the Zebra paint scheme.
Sixth Photo: Dave and one of the first “new style” bodies DIRT had imposed on the modified field. I believe Dave won the Valley season opener that year with this car.
Seventh Photo: A very young Dave Leckonby gets ready to tackle the high banks as a team
driver to Chuck Ely aboard the familiar Tremont owned 115’s.
