Mark Atkinson Speed of cheese racing

[rodneya]

Read on facebook that Mark passed away. No details available.
I know people on her had purchased his parts.

[SoCal250]

No! I hope this isn't true.

[m in sc]

oh fuck no.

this saddens me. Never knew the guy, but he seemed super cool...and he's one of us. I hope this is an error.

[Evans Ward]

Very sad... prayers lifted for family and friends.

[m in sc]

does anybody have any details? I'm so sad he's gone.. I was lucky enough to spend an afternoon with him in his hanger/home/shop back in 22 (on my honeymoon actually). Damn shame. this is the only recent thing i have found:

Godspeed!

[teazer]

Sorry to read that we lost another guy with immense knowledge

[Striker1423]

That's terrible!

[Kawtriplefreak]

Sad news indeed.

This guy cut a Daytona head perfectly in half for me - for free! So talented and generous. Never actually spoke to him, communication was all by email. This makes me sad.

This is very sad news indeed
