I know they are saying speed was a factor,but mike was not a reckless person,and he know's that road. That road has corn field's on each side,maybe a deer or some other animal could have come out,but guess we will never know. He was a very nice guy,everyone that meet him ,liked him. He was one of the 16 car's running for the money on the first season of pinks all out at maple grove. The amount of support he got from everyone was overwhelming,but showed what a great person he was,and also show's that drag racer's are like a big family. We all share that need for speed ,and also know the danger's on and off the track.Anything can happen at anytime.
