Organizers of the 3rd LeGrand Reunion have announced that the next reunion will be held in conjunction with HMSA’s Spring Laguna Seca event, in 2009. While all LeGrand models are invited to attend, special focus will be paid to the early models (Mk1 through Mk10) designed, developed, and raced by Bruce Eglington and Don Stephan.
LeGrand Race Cars was established by Alden “Red” LeGrand in 1961, in partnership with Stuart Dane, to build a 700-cc, BMW-powered, Formula-4 racecar, known as the Mk1. LeGrand went on to build 28 models of racecars, over the next 25 years, until Red’s passing in 1988. LeGrand’s winning tradition includes winning the Formula B championship at Daytona in 1965, winning the first professional Formula A/5000 event at Stardust Raceway in 1967, and the Canadian Grand Prix for F5000 that same year. Continued success followed in the mid-’70s with the Mk18 in D sports racing and in the ’80s with the Mk25.
