During the 1960s, his father, John Holman, co-owned Holman & Moody, Ford's contracted competition shop and one of the most successful racing operations of all time. From NASCAR to road rallies and all the way to Le Mans, H&M played a major role in Ford's Total Performance successes. Then Ford yanked out the rug when it suddenly dropped racing in 1970 to pursue safety and emissions, leaving H&M to soldier on as a pioneer of NASCAR innovations, including the quick-fill gas can. Then John Holman died from a heart attack in 1975 and Lee had to sell his sailboat/Hobie Cat business to pay the inheritance taxes. Since then, Lee has taken on and accepted his role as caretaker for the legend that is Holman & Moody.
