    Default Loss of a race fan.....

    This morning I got a phone call saying that my father had taken a turn for the worse, and lost his battle with cancer that he has been diagnosed with a little less than a month ago. He was a life long race fan, and basically where ever he was, I was. Not only did I lose my best friend, I lost my father.

    I realize this place is kind of crazy at times, but we are a big racing family, and we lost a good one in him.

    So sorry, Z. My dad has recently been diagnosed with cancer also. I lost my mom to cancer 20 years ago, and now things look pretty bleak with dad too. It’s a terrible, terrible disease.

    Z my heart goes out to you. So sad to hear. I am trying to get my dad out to as many races i can this summer. I know it will be his last. He told me during Indiana midget week that he doesnt think he can do it anymore. I am taking him to some Indiana sprint week shows this upcoming weekend and then the Kokomo WoO show for lates. He’s 85 now we have seen alot of laps in my 61 years. He took me everywhere with him. I know you cherish those memories like i do, thoughts and prayers for you.

    Heartfelt prayers go out to you and your family! My father introduced me to dirt track racing at age 6. That was 57 years ago! I lost him 13 years ago & my mom this past December at age 87. I certainly know what you are going thru my friend.

    zyoung25 - May God heal a broken heart - My Dad has been gone for over 30 Years, and sometimes I still have dreams with my Dad, but time will help.
