Sad news, I see on DRC that he ran the car as recently as last August at Topeka and qualified #16 with a 9.64 in SS/DA.

I didn't know Mike well, but grew up watching him race. I met him at a local Mopar day at the track when I was a teenager. This is when he was running his 64 or 65 Hemi car before he had the convertible. His racing partner, Pat Forsyth had a Hemi A-body. Seeing both cars up close made a lasting impression on me. From that day forward, the most impressive sight to behold in my eyes was a Super Stock Hemi. When they fired them up and roared to life, I was hooked! Mike was very knowledgeable and personable guy and always out performed his budget. Condolences to his family and Godspeed. Take it one day at a time and every day that passes the good memories will overcome the pain of your loss.

If my memory is correct, the convertible wasn't a convertible car from the factory. It was made into a convertible, but I can't remember the story. Maybe someone else will chime in. Either way, it was a beautiful machine!

Dave, Mikes car was a body-in-white car from the factory that had been converted to a convertible early on. He also told some good tales of ALOT of other "tricks" they did to that car back in its early days of Super Stock racing. And you are dead on about Mike being smart and personable...

Always a personable fella, If some photo savvy member could make a poster out of the top pic I'd be first in line to get some cool garage art like that. Proceeds to the family of course, just thinkin out loud.
