I happened to come across this site. And i was one of Dave Vegher's volunteers coming to his shop usually twice a week in torrance to help in any way..go for things.. Lunch... And I was his personal photographer for his races, I only missed one race.. "Portland" it was great fun for the 3 years he went racing. I have alot of still photos of his lotus on track. Not sure how to send my pics.. There not digital yet. Thanks.. Vincent Ramirez from Riverside Ca.

Hello Vincent!

Welcome Vincent.

As I have a Vegher twincam in my Elan and Dave is a good friend, I would love to see some of your photos posted here.

I suspect Dave would enjoy seeing them as well. He is recently retired so might have the time to reminisce a bit.

PM me if you need help in figuring how to post them.

Hello there: Vince. R. Here to say I gave dave a copy of all the pics I took, he has the same photos also.. I had a video tape of some if his races alone with his last national runoff in 84' I believe. My brother stole my original tape. But I made a VHS copy of it and dave has it if he hasn't lost it since 1984. I tried to post a couple of photo's but it came back file is too big to send.!! But if you have an e-mail address I can send some that way without a problem. On messanger. My E-mail is [email protected] or 951-399-5073 I'm in Riverside, Ca. 92509. Thanks.. Vincent Ramirez.

Vincent sent me a bunch of photos of Dave Vegher?s Elan, 3 time SCCA National Champion. Pretty radical Elan as you can see. Dave was too successful so they kept handicapping him or moving him up a class each year to allow the competition to catch up. His engines (?Vegher Power?) are now ubiquitous throughout vintage racing.

I was fortunate that Dave agreed to build my high output, broad torque curve, tractable street engine given that his focus was usually in building high rev race engines:

(181 hp, 143 lb-ft, 1700cc, 7k redline, street build)



Even though Dave has recently retired and intends to go traveling, he says he still has a few projects in hand.
