Janet you will be truly missed,,when i started bracket racing she was there, when i started stock & superstock racing she was there..she will always be remembered with the 3 wheeler and note pad in hand @ the fence.. for so many years......Im sure i can speak for many NW racers. Janet was and will be a great lady to remember...

Jody & Toby,
My heart goes out to you both for your loss. Her devotion to help you both succeed has always been a wonderful thing to witness. From the local races to the ET Finals to the Nationals, it was always a pleasure to see and speak with her the times I was able to. She will be sorely missed. Sincerely, Jerry Gossette 6891

Mike and I just heard the news about MaMa Lang. How will any of us that shared "family style" moments with her during a race EVER forget the small woman that spoke softly but moved mountains with a smile or a kind word. We will cherish evenings spent bench racing outside that little travel trailer that housed one of the worlds most precious cargos, MaMa Lang. Our hearts break for Toby, Jody, Cody and other family members but we rejoice with them for blessings she brought each of us. I say with all honesty racing will never be the same for us without seeing that little red three wheeler zipping around the lanes.

Toby, I hope you will call us if we can do anything at all.

It is always difficult to see the reference of a loss in the topic line. This is a very tough one obviously for many of us. I can't remember a race where I did not see Janet making her way around the pits in support of Toby and Jody. And always with a smile, a warm greeting or time for a quick chat. Generally speaking good parents "make" good children. I have to say that it the case with the Langs. Toby and Jody are 2 of my favs in our pits and obviously 2 of the toughest competitors that any of us see!
Toby and Jody rest assured that Janet will always be with you. Let the warm memories create peace in you and get you through the tough times. Obviously your racing family has your backs. Let us know if you need anything.
Sincerely,
Bryan Phillips

I just heard the news of Janets passing. I will miss her as so many will as she was a bright spot at every event that I saw her.

Janet was a sweet lady and memories of her will live on with all of us forever.

My condolences to Toby, Jody, and family.

Janet enjoyed being at the track and had the greatest respect for those who really knew how to accept a win or a loss. I was always impressed by the number of people she knew and enjoyed chatting with. Thanks to the little red three wheeler, Janet could buzz around getting run sheets, make it to the starting line, keep up to speed with old friends and make new ones.

Toby and Jody presented her with a new laptop and she would check all races and the class racer forum before opening Martha Stewart's website. (And it was always at hand during/after a race.)

In spite of a spinal problem she was always ready to travel with or drive one of her sons rigs and was pretty damn good at laying down some serious mileage.

I have always suspected, but can't prove, the smell of nitro contributed to her love of the sport. I appreciate that so many racers got to know my BFF, my special, irreplaceable lady.

Thanks to all of you.
