Unbelievable. When ever I saw that Dwight had made a post, I knew that what I was about to read would be accurate, respectful and informative. I regret never having had the pleasure of meeting Dwight, but I was looking forward to correcting that situation at the November modified and supermodified event at Concord NC.
RIP Dwight, you are already greatly missed.

The only word that I can come up with is stunned! A horrible day as I also lost another friend yesterday at way too young of an age. I always enjoyed talking with Dwight and racing was certainly his passion. His knowledge and insight will truly be missed both on this board and in person. He had a way of bringing even the most controversial subject into prospective.
Last year when my grandson first encountered his health problems, Dwight was the first one to send his thoughts and prayers. He sent me a PM and I was so touched by his geniune kindness and thoughtfulness as well as doing anything he could to help. Men like Dwight are far and few between. If someone was looking for a role model, he couldn't do much better than Dwight.
I already have a very empty feeling as I sit here and punch the keys. To all of his family and many friends, I hope you find some comfort knowing how many peoples lives he touched in a very positive way. RIP is peace my friend.:crying:

We all knew Dwight was a good man just from the style and tone of his posts. He was a great role model in that and many other ways and his death is truly a huge loss for this board. May God comfort his family and friends.

I came home for a break and my wife Anita said that J. Hoover called. She mentioned Dwight's name and I guessed what the news was.
It wasn't a huge surprise; I knew that DC had health issues. But it still hurts all the same. I grew to love that "old" man".
RIP, brother....someday maybe we'll meet again.

I"m lost for words like all of us, Being from the East and running some shows with URC first knew of Dwight. He had a passion for the sport and racers all over. I always looked forward to his positive posts on this board. Gone but not forgotten.

This is shocking. I always enjoyed his posts...and some said it best here earlier. He was a voice of reason....a positive force for racing.
Godspeed Dwight.

Does anybody have a pic of DC that they could post on this thread?
Thanks,
