Re: A very sad day for all of us, Janet Lang passes on.
I was never a member of this forum until now because I felt I had to say a few words about Janet. I first met Janet thru my friendship with Jody. I don't race, in fact, Jody was the one who got me hooked on drag racing as a fan. Thru this friendship I was introduced to his mom Janet and immediately was aware of how nice and kind of a person she was! I could not step foot inside her trailer without her wanting to cook me a meal! She would always laugh about how much stuff I would buy from the Nitro mall or any other stand. I would always have fun with her on taking her picture because she did not like it, but you know I'm glad I took those pictures! You did not have too know her well too understand how passionate she was about her two sons racing, Jody&Toby. She was so proud. My personal favorite memory of her was when Jody doubled up a few years ago at Pacific raceways at a divisional and the smile on her face could of reached Mt. Rainier from the track! My wife Jill quickly fell in love with her and when she was not at a race she would always ask how Janet was doing first before she asked how Toby or Jody were doing. The world is a emptier place without her, but I'm glad I can say like all of you, she was my "FRIEND"...........
