Do you remember anything about that car? Gene Forsthofel raced a LeGrand Mk 7 at Mid-America Raceway and Olathe Airfield in 1970 and then advertised a "F/A LeGrand Wedge" in Autoweek on 3 Apr 1971 but I don't know anything more than that. It's one of my "mystery cars".
The FB he had later would be the Mk 14 he raced at Monterrey in 1971 with a Ford engine and then with a Mazda engine at Lake Garnett and Mid-America Raceway in 1972. In 1971 he'd also driven something called a "Leonizer" at Mexico City, a week after the Monterrey event.
Any of this ring any bells?
