Thomas LeClair works in the Marketing Department at Speedtech Performance where they create custom builds, suspension components, and parts for the pro-touring industry. He comes from a family with a long lineage of performance, racing, and track-side services and started working at the age of 14 with his father. Thomas built Mercedes Benz CHAMP car engines at Ilmor Engineering, spent time vintage racing, worked in the financial area and spent time with Bentley Motors. Porsche Motorsport North America came calling to help them move into their PECLA facility. He then focused on his passion for photography, marketing, content creation, events, and a lot more with Speedtech Performance. You’ll see his photography on the cover and in feature articles of Chevy Hub Magazine, a high-quality oversized coffee table magazine.
