Mike Rolfes, a great friend and drag racer, passed away late Sunday night. He just found out a few weeks ago he had cancer, he did what he could, but could do no more. Mike was very special, helped anyone in need, at the track, at home, anytime anywhere. He was indeed one of the good ones, who's time came up short. Here is a short obit from the dispatch and hours for this week.

RIP Mike. Anyone have a photo of Mike or his car?
Name sounds very familiar. Was he a trails regular?

RIP

Godspeed to ya Mike.

He drove a yellow challenger with a gutted interior and tinted windows for years, ran low 10's. He got a 92 Hunter green daytona with a primer black nose about 3 years ago. He was at trails a bit.

RIP you will be missed. Prayers go out to the family.

Was this the gentleman that they had in the ambulance at the track (CC event this past weekend),,,and had someone else drive his car down the lanes,,,,while he was watching from the ambulance ?? They said he wanted to see and hear his car down the track "one more time",,,,

I was up in the lanes at that time,,,

choked me up a bit seeing the family and his car,,,,

Prayers for the family and his friends

We where parked near the pits where all the cars where and it was a very touching scene when he came over after they made the pass with his car.

My heart goes out to his family and freinds and I will remember that for a very long time.

Very sad...

RIP

I beleive I met him at the Mopar Nationals a few years ago. We were all standing in the lanes and he just walked up to me and started talking. If this is the same guy he was a really likeable man. My condolences to his friends and family.

Good article very nicely stated. God bless his family.

RIP...

sorry to hear about your friend...

prayers for the family and close ones...

RIP

I was there, a very touching moment, but he sure had a great group of friends to make his last wish happen.

Mike was a genuine nice guy. I feel fortunate to have known him for the short time I did. I met him through a mutual friend at the track and ironically last saw him there as well. I was honored to have participated in his farewell parade on Sat.

RIP Mike
