A very sad day for all of us, Janet Lang passes on.

My condolences to Jody and Toby also. It won't seem the same any more without her.
Not many of us are lucky enough to have parents that are so supportive of this sport.

Toby & jody we are very saddened by the passing of a very special mom. it's a loss to everyone who knew her, she was one of the nicest lady's at the track. when i knew that she was at the track i always looked her up to say hi, and to talk about how good of a year you all were having. she truly loved her family, i know you had to be proud to say EVERYBODY THIS IS MY MOM. a very sad day for the WOOD family.

Janet you will be truly missed,,when i started bracket racing she was there, when i started stock & superstock racing she was there..she will always be remembered with the 3 wheeler and note pad in hand @ the fence.. for so many years......Im sure i can speak for many NW racers. Janet was and will be a great lady to remember...

Jody & Toby,
My heart goes out to you both for your loss. Her devotion to help you both succeed has always been a wonderful thing to witness. From the local races to the ET Finals to the Nationals, it was always a pleasure to see and speak with her the times I was able to. She will be sorely missed. Sincerely, Jerry Gossette 6891

It is always difficult to see the reference of a loss in the topic line. This is a very tough one obviously for many of us. I can't remember a race where I did not see Janet making her way around the pits in support of Toby and Jody. And always with a smile, a warm greeting or time for a quick chat. Generally speaking good parents "make" good children. I have to say that it the case with the Langs. Toby and Jody are 2 of my favs in our pits and obviously 2 of the toughest competitors that any of us see!
Toby and Jody rest assured that Janet will always be with you. Let the warm memories create peace in you and get you through the tough times. Obviously your racing family has your backs. Let us know if you need anything.
Sincerely,
Bryan Phillips

Rest in peace Janet. I wish you the best seat in "drag race Heaven" from where you will certainly continue to enjoy your families amazing accomplishments. I offer my deepest sympathy and respect, Glenn Person

I just heard the news of Janets passing. I will miss her as so many will as she was a bright spot at every event that I saw her.
