Mike's the one who gave me the infamous Duck umbrella. Gonna miss you, buddy. I'm mad at you! For all the trash talking we did over the years, we never got to race. 'Course you would've kicked my butt, just like Monty Joe's.

It was through a private message on this site that Mike contacted me. We had talked at the races, but after he got my email address, he became my "Coach" and close friend. I would be in the staging lanes ready for eliminations, and know that Coach Mike is going to be watching the drag race results. He was a great encourager and motivator. I will miss him.
