Kenz & Leslie

Kenz & Leslie are Colorado racing legends, but especially in drag racing. In the 1960s, they raced in several different classes in drag racing. The Kenz & Leslie team raced fuelers, blown sports cars, and funny cars. The cars all were Ford powered and mostly driven by Roy Leslie, Jr. In 1966, the 777 team got one of the Logghe Bros. built Comets to race due to their connections. Their success allowed them to become the premier funny car from Colorado in the late '60s. The High Country Cougar III was the third funny car the team raced. Run in 1969 and 1970, the Cougar was a seven-second car in the rare air. It was replaced by a Mercury Comet in 1971. The team retired from drag racing by the end of the year.
