Lauren will be missed. I met him and his son Greg back when I was in the Royal Pontiac club. I always made sure I talked to him at Norwalk every year. Super intelligent guy and a wealth of engineering knowledge. His viewing is this afternoon and I plan on attending.

Very sad news. Loren was a great guy and a very knowledgeable engine theorist. We had many in-depth discussions on rod length and other parameters. RIP, sir...

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
