This is very sad news, my condolences to Toby and Jody. Janet loved her boys, loved drag racing and was a kind friend to every class racer in division 6 & 7.

Such a nice lady who will be missed by our racing family. Always enjoyed talking with Janet when her and the boys came to Div1.

Janet enjoyed being at the track and had the greatest respect for those who really knew how to accept a win or a loss. I was always impressed by the number of people she knew and enjoyed chatting with. Thanks to the little red three wheeler, Janet could buzz around getting run sheets, make it to the starting line, keep up to speed with old friends and make new ones.
Toby and Jody presented her with a new laptop and she would check all races and the class racer forum before opening Martha Stewart's website. (And it was always at hand during/after a race.) In spite of a spinal problem she was always ready to travel with or drive one of her sons rigs and was pretty damn good at laying down some serious mileage. I have always suspected, but can't prove, the smell of nitro contributed to her love of the sport. I appreciate that so many racers got to know my BFF, my special, irreplaceable lady. Thanks to all of you. Dale |

I was never a member of this forum until now because I felt I had to say a few words about Janet. I first met Janet thru my friendship with Jody. I don't race, in fact, Jody was the one who got me hooked on drag racing as a fan. Thru this friendship I was introduced to his mom Janet and immediately was aware of how nice and kind of a person she was! I could not step foot inside her trailer without her wanting to cook me a meal! She would always laugh about how much stuff I would buy from the Nitro mall or any other stand. I would always have fun with her on taking her picture because she did not like it, but you know I'm glad I took those pictures! You did not have too know her well too understand how passionate she was about her two sons racing, Jody&Toby. She was so proud. My personal favorite memory of her was when Jody doubled up a few years ago at Pacific raceways at a divisional and the smile on her face could of reached Mt. Rainier from the track! My wife Jill quickly fell in love with her and when she was not at a race she would always ask how Janet was doing first before she asked how Toby or Jody were doing. The world is a emptier place without her, but I'm glad I can say like all of you, she was my "FRIEND"...........
