Happy Birthday Mark!

We lost you 5 years ago. and we miss you tons!  We will never forget the Life celebration we had for you 5 years ago, and how many people were there to pay their respects.  It was a wonderful celebration.

We would rather be celebrating with you in person today - but know that you are in a better place, and we know that you are always with us!

We Love You!

Susy & Mike

I got my "In Memory of Mark Herbert" T shirt out, put it on, and took the Oval out.... found a nice wide stretch of road, with nobody else around, and tried to do the re-creation of the Quaife torture test burnout/spin around.... I failed, only got it to spin completely around 2 times, but I think it was the thought that counted.
Mike and Susy, you know you're welcome up here behind the Redwood Curtain any ol' time....

Thanks Dave - we plan on heading back up your way as soon as we can.  Our one dog has a disease called Megaesphogus, and it sucks.  He needs lots of attention,and can get asperated peumonia really easily.  He is our priority for now!
Hope all is well with you, and Happy Fourth of July!

Susy & Mike

I wasn't fortunate enough to know Mark, but from everything I've seen and heard I like him.
Sounds like he loved no-holds-barred performance and yet a super nice guy to most anyone.
Those that knew him were truly lucky.
Long live his memory!
