Ahhh Decatur, Bluffton............Robert, your 45 min/or so, from Ft Wayne. If you requie something to do in the evening, you'll need to go.

After the plant tour, you could swing over to Lingenfelter and see if John is in.

Not to get off the subject of having fun at the Formula factory, but Kentz said to visit John Lingenfelter and say hi. This is off his web-site, (sized down) he's not in very good shape and it doesn't look good for him. What a sad thing to happen to such a great racer and engine builder. If there is a God he needs to help this man and his family.



On Friday, November 29, 2002, just over a month after his accident at Pomona, John was prepped in Indy for a second operation to repair his still damaged vertebrae. John was administered a drug prior to anesthesia. John had a reaction and went into cardiac arrest. The medical staff worked to reestablish his heart function, which they did. However, John entered into and remains in a "semi comatose state".

His physicians rate the prognosis to recover from his neck and spinal injuries as “excellent”. They say that the chances of recovery from his semi comatose state are “extremely poor” in “the foreseeable future”.

John’s wife, Cindy Lingenfelter, while realizing the seriousness of his condition, remains hopeful for an eventual recovery. In the meantime, she is committed that it will be “business as usual” at LPE. Cindy asks that John’s friends direct their prayers to God for his recovery and their well wishes to “the shop” where she will maintain an office.
