John was an awesome guy talked w him a bit years ago and he was happy to give me info. When I built my turbo car I used a lot of his info to build it. My turbo car hooks in gravel!
I poured over every picture or video of that car I could find ! When I first started racing 69 birds which was 1987 he was” the man” in my opinion when it came to fast 69 birds. Car was so clean and so well built (as they would have said in the 70s it was SUPER SANO
I wanted to know everything about it because it just seemed like it worked all the time. Angeles & Mc Carthy did as much for pontiac racing as anyone in my opinion. That was the pontiac racers Bible for many years. If I went to buy parts that book was with me. Must have read both of those cover to cover 100 times and looked back at it for any obscure info I’d remember..
That blue 69 was just a gorgeous piece of art, wielded with precision like a knights sword just destroying everything that got in its way .

He will be missed , prayers for him and his family
