I have some pretty interesting talks on our last few conversations. Closest thing to a Pontiac Pro Stock engine i have ever heard of. But still Pontiac dimensions. No short deck Honda bearing deal. When the "very good" parts came short, he bought the best. Ring Speed like a 500ci BBC 11,000 RPM Pro Stock ride. Stock Edelbrock steel guides still in the heads.
The info I was going to get on something I really cared about, Pontiac NA engines because I committed to buying all his Edelbrock stuff was very valuable to me.
But talking to him made me feel better, wanted to make myself shoot for more with my stuff.
Very unique person. tell you about the conversations later. Too soon now. But his ideas and spirit need to live on.

Is there a gofundme account or something to help Mikes kids out?


I was told he did not have life insurance and there is a link on FB somewhere.

I know I am in Canada and our taxes are very high but the first thing we do when we have a child is we get life ins. I am surprised that Mike a business man would not have any type of life ins. He must have had business ins? I am sure somewhere Mike had some kind of ins for his children. Hopefully see you this weekend my brother. RIP Mike.

Maurice, Mike was refused life insurance because of his size, according to his mother.
This is still a bad dream that I can't seem to wake up from. I keep expecting him to make a post busting someones stones, or a progress report...

I hope that somehow, someway he put money (bonds, stocks, etc.) aside. I also hope that the money they raised for his children's fund goes all to his children. RIP Mike

His little Green HO Car was very easy to recognize at the track, put on a great show, and at the end of the day ran 7s like Mike wanted to accomplish.

He did good!

Yes John, Chris, Tom and all the rest of Mike's family and friends, I am F--king MAD. I only met Mike that one weekend a month and a half ago and my heart is killing me. Anyone mad at the truth I speak, tell me to my face I am wrong!!! The only good that can come out of this is what a friend said to me today. Mike was put in this world to carry out Gods wishes, his goodness, his good heartiness, his being a great father and all the other great things Mike did for everyone. I guess he did all of that and now God wanted him back beside him. I am still very angry. RIP Mike, knowing you made me a better person. Thanks Mike
I know what you mean Stallion. I cringe every time i meet a rig on the highway. and that's on a standard day on the 401. No training anymore. But to be drunk is inexcusable and no one deserves to be taken in that way. RIP Mike.
