I apologize for my late response as I was out of town for a couple of weeks.

I am saddened by Dwight's passing. Although I did not really know him, I could tell by his posts that he was the knowledge king of racing and was always polite and classy while still getting his point across.

He was a real gentleman and I certainly respected him for all of the above reasons.

We are worse off without him.

Rest in peace.:crying:

As with many of you here I never met Dwight, but wish I had.

We spent many nights at the same races at the now closed Islip Speedway on Long Island and as far as I can remeber we never crossed paths.

Islip was a big part of my youth and when it closed it took a big chunk of my youth with it.

We traded racing stories via message boards and PM's on those boards and Dwight brought back many great memories from my childhood, for that I am gratefull.

We were to meet at Mansfield in August but I could not make the trip this year, I wish I had.

It looks like Dwight touched many people here.

Rest in peace Dwight and thanks for sharing so many great stories.

Dennis & Carol,

Thank you for the follow up information. I miss Dwight's input and common sense on this board. I also miss sitting and talking to him at the races. His vast knowledge of auto racing was very enlightening,and he never seemed to flaunt that knowledge. I hope his family and friends find peace and comfort in the days ahead.

There must be a better way to link to this photo, but I'm not all that savvy.

God Bless Dwight,

Oh my God. I haven't logged on here for nearly two months and I find out that Dwight has passed !!!! How incredibly sad. I got to meet him and have breakfast with him before the USAC show at Winchester in April and I could not have shared breakfast with a more outstanding citizen of the racing community.

We talked about our shared past with mutual roots on Long Island and frequent stops at Reading Fairgrounds back in the day. I came to respect him as a man of great knowledge and honor in this sport and he will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

Rest in peace my friend.
