Seattle Outboard Association Life Member and APBA Honor squadron member Jack Leek passed away March 8 of a heart attack. Jack's racing career began in 1941 in outboards and extended, from the cast-iron era through Formula-1 as well as work in other categories up to Unlimited. Jack's technical skills brought him success in several alky classes, using motors Jack modified in his shop and led to involvement in the development of super high performance outboard motors. Jack played a vital part in founding Northwest racing organizations, and Jack additionally served as an APBA representative to UIM, as well as on numerous technical committees and racing commissions.

I've assembled a four part history interview with Jack by Craig Fjarlie we ran in Pit Previews several years ago and attached it here in a PDF format.
