We lost another legend....
Steve Kanuika of Steve Kanuika speed shops...
and the Jungle Jim Lieberman fame.
Died on sunday after complications from heart surgery...in Phila...
He was a teenage friend of my father and uncle.
and I have alot of memories...he will be missed
I spoke to him a week ago...and right now i am at a loss for words..
God Speed Steve...
RIP
Jim Fox

That sucks. He did a lot of work on my GTX in 1987 when it had a six pack. Great guy and team over in Delaware..

this is an awsome read and insight as to the scene back in the 70's
sort of explains Steve's Relavence to dragracing.
only one of many stories.

he sent me a facebook request last month since we have so many friends in common but Steve's link you posted says he was born June 6, 1973 so it would be his kid.
