I started to post about Mikes passing when I found out but didn't know if anyone else knew him. I talked to Mike probably early June, he had his daughters dragster and a 65 at Paducah. From talking to him I thought he was doing well. We talked about a lot of stuff and Mikes heart was in the right place. In retrospect from our conversation I suspect he knew what was coming, I was taken back when I found out that he had passed. Mike was a good man and a good racer too, my R1/Indy headed small block was purchased from him.
