Re: Mark Tallent in the hospital
 

Oh man.......very sad news........and angering as well. We can be sure Mark faced his illness with the passion and "spunk" he showed in life. While I may not had had the opportunity to know Mark as well as many of you, he was always willing to stop by say hello, express his opinions on any and all subjects and help if asked.........I enjoyed his positions and directness but most, Mark would leave you laughing. Mark and the wheelstanding Mustang will be missed...........just not fair.

Alex, please do post that address and name on how we might be able.

The loss of Mark is a tragety that will take some time to heal. He was a great racer and a fearsome competator. Him and I raced many times for class and he was always right there nipping at my heals. He was also a great inspiration for me to work harder on my race car because I knew he would be there to race with all his effort. He was always there to help me with anything I needed and helped me change trans and clutch more than once. I can say that the world will be a lonlier place without him around. RIP Mark. Kip Martin

I had the pleasure and honor of working with Mark at Calvert Racing. I miss him terribly...I miss his knowledge, his wit, his wicked sense of humor, and most of all, his unselfish assistance. My desk was adjacent to his, and many times I'd put a call on hold, turn 45o and ask Mark a question, he'd give me an answer that not only could I understand, but that I could pass along to the customer for their knowledge and benefit. I learned much by listening to Mark and John trouble-shoot problems, challenges, new designs, etc. The drag racing world is a lonelier place without him, and our shop is a lot lonelier without him. Condolences to the Tallent family and rest in peace MarkT7724!
