It's with much sadness I wanted to let the racing community know about the passing of Howard Lehmann this morning. Howard was a fixture in the midget racing community for many decades, and helped so many along the way. Once arragements have been made, I will post them on here.
Please feel free to post some of your fondest moments of Howard on here.
Howard was one of the best at actually building a midget from a bare engine block up. He forgot more about racing than many people will ever know. He was a close family friend and a great supporter of both my mom and myself when we ran the MARA midget group. He will be greatly missed.
Great guy, great family in racing. I remember when we got started out and bought our 410, we struggled with the fuel system and getting the motor to run right. Another racer recommended that we take the car to Howard so he could take a look at it. We took it over to Howard's shop and he got it running right. My prayers are with Donnie and the rest of the Lehmann family.
The Lehmann family ran with N.A.M.A.R.S. many, many times when NAMARS was quite active and traveled everywhere. You could always count on the family along with having their friendship.
Howard would help ANYONE that needed it.

My condolence to Donnie & his family on the passing of Mr. Lehmann. No matter how things were going, he always has a smile on his face. Very intelligent man when it came to midgets.
