We have sad news of two of our industries finest who have passed recently. T.C. Lemons was a fixture at the Don Garlits Museum and Don’s right hand for many years. He was a great innovator in the racing world and will be sorely missed.
Burke LeSage had a wonderful life in racing and rodding and brought so much to us. We had the pleasure of spending time with Burke a few years ago at the SEMA show and he was just a wonderful man.

Speed Stuff, LLC started with my love affair with cars. Over the years, I've worked on my own and other people's cars, doing bodywork, painting, etc. When I retired, I decided to turn my hobby into a business.

I want to make sure my customers have the right parts, know how to install them, and are completely satisfied with the result. Wilbur (Bill) Gooch
