Notes: Leonard had a very short (six months) but very successful dragster-driving career. He owned a gas station in Playa del Rey when he teamed up to drive for Ronnie Scrima and Gene Adams in their new dragster. They began putting together a string of straight Top Eliminator wins at Lions Drag Strip that was nothing short of phenomenal. They also took Top Eliminator wins at Pomona and Riverside. They took Top Eliminator at the U.S. Nationals held in Detroit. They returned to Lions and continued their incredible hot winning streak. They were scheduled to have a match race at Lions against Jack Chrisman and his two-engined Twin Bear dragster for a position on the Drag News national ranking list on October 22. Unfortunately, one of Chrisman's engines broke, so Harris made a pass to run in that night's eliminations. Their engine cracked a cylinder wall during the run, so they put their car on the trailer. There was another car that was debuting at the meet that had been rushed and pieced together that week. A couple of other drivers had taken a hand in trying to get that car to make a good pass without success. Harris volunteered to see if he could make a decent run in the car. He was paired against Quincy Automotive's twin Chevy dragster. Some believed that a front axle broke, others that a steering arm had come off, but no one knew for sure what happened. Harris lost control of the car, and it made a left turn into the catch fence and got upside down in a violent crash. He succumbed to injuries that he sustained in the accident.
