Welcome
You have entered the official Leah Pruett-LeDuc website! Home of the Ron Pruett owned and Leah Pruett-LeDuc driven Nitro Nostalgia Funny car.
The continuously growing motorsport of Nostalgia funny car racing is based on bringing back the magic of the funny car’s original era, the 1960s and 1970s. The funny car body styles distinctly replicate cars of that time period, such as our very own 1969 Mustang Mach 1.
At speeds of 240 mph the current nostalgia funny cars are quicker and faster than the originals, but rules and limitations set by set by the Nostalgia Funny Car Association keep our racing truly nostalgic on the outside, and ‘under the hood’.
The Dickies Girl Funny Car has been parked for the 2009 season, but that will not keep Leah from racing. Leah will be behind the wheel of various nostalgia funny cars this year, as she races for different teams at selected events. However, she is looking for additional driving opportunities, and even a team who needs a consistent driver throughout the year.
