I became familiar with Indiana Openwheel message-board back in 2005 and quickly recognized frequent poster Dwight Clock as one of the senior membership and one to expect intelligent and informative posts from always ... you could count on it !

To me , Dwight Clock was IOW - (.... and surely will not be the same without him ! ).

Dwight contacted me early last year to wish me well in my first year of driving Midgets. Dwight was intrigued to learn more of my transition ( to midgets ) after a 36 year stock car career. We were about the same age and Dwight followed my progress closely during the '07 season.

Since learning of Dwight's passing I have really been bummed-out ... I knew nothing of his health problems. Iam so sorry.

We were racing at the Mount Lawn Speedway in New Castle , Indiana on August 1st , a year ago. It was the Tracy Hines benefit night. Dwight walked up and introduced himself and immediately wanted to know more about me as I was interested in learning more about him as we were both from the east coast. I enjoyed a great conversation with a man possessing a great knowledge and love of motorsports !

Thanks to everyone in this wonderful thread honoring the life and memory of a truly good guy ! :thumb
