Lance Smith, restorer of Greenwood Race Cars is reporting that Corvette innovator and racing legend John Greenwood passed away yesterday July 7, 2015.

Greenwood, well known for his innovative racing designs, with his wild wedged shaped bodies, highly developed suspensions, work with the fuel injected big block motors and lightweight materials won an SCCA Trans Am Championship, SCCA Production championships, and wins at Sebring and Daytona in IMSA Camel GT.

He was also well know for his racing at Lemans where he blasted down the Mulsanne Straight at 230 plus MPH.

I Met John on a number of occasions in the late 60's to early 80's. A great guy who always had time for his fans.

Godspeed John...thanks for putting America up front in the Golden Years of Sports Car Racing in North America. It was a thrill to watch you compete.

To his family...thanks for sharing this legend with us, he will be sorely missed.
