I've been notified that Leonard Woods, the last of the Stone Woods and cook car, died this morning.  I don't have any further details.  Fill in the story if you know, please, -- and keep his memory in your heart.

"Got'Cha" was first run in 1974. Bill Temple entered both 2 clubs in 1976 with records in AA/BGR. At El Mirage 201.79 and Bonneville at 220.

In 1977 Greg Temple started driving "Got'Cha" and entered the El Mirage Dirty 2 club in 1979 @ 201.97. Greg went on to set two records at Bonneville, one in 1981 at 241.848, then in 1991 he set another record at 262.230

Bill and Greg were the first father and son to enter the El Mirage Dirty 2 club. They broke the D/BFR at Bonneville in 1981 @ 241 with top speed of 249. This record still stands today. In 1991 they set the A/BFR @ 262 which was later broke by Duane McKinney.

Another racing pioneer gone, even though it was drag racing many of us knew and respected Leonard Woods.
Stone-Woods & Cook were among the best. RIP Mr. Woods.

I met Leonard at the World Gasser Championships at Mile High Dragstrip back in 1994. I was a big fan of the gassers back in the day.
