Re: R.I.P. Mark Lyle
This is a shock. I didn't know Mark personally but had seen him in action many times. Big loss, not only to NHRA, but to all his friends here in Division 6. Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.

Re: R.I.P. Mark Lyle
hi, this is a shock. I've known mark since he started at pacific as the starter. he was a fair man, and good starter. I spent more than a few times helping him and his crew scrap starting line at div 6 races over the years. he always wanted stick cars to go last, so wouldn't tear up his newly prepped starting line, lol we lost a great man. condolences to his family.

Re: R.I.P. Mark Lyle
Another good friend and good guy lost too soon. I've known Mark for over 20+ years, back when he was manager of our local NAPA store down the street from the college providing parts for our college auto programs. Always modest and caring..he took a lot of pride in prepping the track and providing the best racing surface for us racers. He always mentioned he had the best seat in the house and getting the NHRA starter job was his dream job. I will miss his friendly point and smile as I came to the line, wherever I raced. Mark was one in a million.
You will be missed my friend.............
