RIP Dwight Clock

Sorry to hear this.

I got to meet him last year at Border Wars at GC and he was every bit as nice and informative in person as on the boards. Many a night in chats he'd break out some racing trivia questions.

Thanks for the good times Dwight. We will miss you!

Very sad indeed. One of the best posters on this or any other messege board.

You will be missed Dwight. Now you can watch the greats again. Save all of us a seat at the greatest speedway imaginable.

WOW!!!! I have never met Dwight but I will miss his very insightful posts. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

I never got to meet Dwight but always read his posts as they were very informative and positive. He was a roll model that we should all try to emulate.
:checkered: RIP Dwight

I am so sorry to hear this. Dwight added a lot to this and other forums. He attended more races, especially on the East Coast, that I will have dreamed of attending. I saw him at Winchester early this year and I was in high hopes of seeing him up there again later in the year.

Anyone who knew him and his health issues in recent years probably had in the back of their mind this scenerio playing out, but it is still quite a shock.

Rest in peace my friend.:crying:

:crying: Can't believe it....this hurts big time. Just heard the sad new from Bob and Monica Clauson and was floored. Had developed a really strong friendship with Dwight since he moved here from NY specifically for the racing. Will treasure the several hours we spent together last October when we had a long lunch before the MSCS event here. Only got to see him a time or two this season due to his move to Clermont, his IMS job, his health issues, and travel cutbacks by me. I'll also miss his many contributions here on IOW, especially his digs at my age.

At some future time I hope to be more upbeat with a celebration of his life, as I know he would insist. But for now it's :crying: .

R.I.P. my friend.

Although i never met Dwight, i really enjoyed his wisdom and character. Dwight enjoy your new life, because i'm sure you are going to see better racing now then all of us down here. My condolences go out to the Clock family.:crying:

I met Dwight at a PRA event at IRP. He went out of his way to come down to our pit and introduce himself. Up to that point, we had communicated many times via PM's on this board. Since then, whenever I'd see him, I made a point to say hello and talk for a while. Very high rent guy. I'm really glad now that I made his acquaintance.
