The RC world has lost one of it's best. He was absolutely the nicest RC "bigwig" I ever had the pleasure of meeting at big races. The industry could use some more people like him. RIP Mike.

I got the news of this on the Phone from one of my friends in cali this Morning. It really sucks as Mike was a very great and dear friend and really helped me out many times for countless hours when I was getting started in Touring. He will be greatly missed and he was a very down to earth Genuine person who loved the Hobby as well as his friends. God Speed Mike, God needed a great motor for his RC track in heaven. |

A true motor legend. I met him in Tuscon many years ago at an event. He was really a nice guy, took time out of his busy day to speak with us a while....RIP

Wow, how time flies. I met Mr. Reedy way back in the late 80s when I raced off road. He was very helpful and kind to me that day. My condolences go out to his family and friends. Godspeed. |
