LIke so many others have posted, Janet was a fixture at the races for many years, even before Jody or Toby started racing in Stock Eliminator, as both boys are multi time bracket racing track champions. Janet always had time for a smile and chat, and especially when Toby was racing all over the USA , she obviously made friends with racers in every corner of North America. I doubt that very many female "senior citizens" have traveled as many miles in a ramp truck or dualie as Janet had! It will definatly be sad not seeing her zipping thru the pits on that old Honda 3 wheeler, which she must have put many thousands of miles on as well. She was very proud of "her boys", but was a friend to hundreds of other racers and fans as well. She will be missed by so many people.RIP Janet.

I want to send out my healing thoughts to the Lang family. Janet held a special place in my heart as I'm sure she did for everyone. Janet was such a kind woman. She always had a smile, a sweet Hello and a conversation for you. It didn't matter if you knew her a little or a lot, or saw her everyday or randomly throughtout life, she was always very welcoming. As you all know her life was racing with her boys and so I'm thankful she was there with them at the time of her passing. All my best to the Lang family and wish you comfort in your time of sorrow.

On behalf of our family very sincere condolences, Jody and Toby. I will always remember how your Mom took me in while I was out on the road in 1999 by myself travelling across North America. Hanging out with you guys in Shreveport and Dallas watching the Baseball playoffs, eating popcorn, and talking racing is a very special memory for me.

It seemed that Janet was *always* at the races, supporting not only her sons, but her many friends at the track as well. I always enjoyed giving her a wave and seeing her smile, usually aboard that classic three wheeler. Win or lose, she was always there encouraging me on.

I miss her already.

I am very sorry for your loss guys. I always enjoyed being around your Mom; she always went out of her way to say hello and make people feel special just being around her. She was truly one of the most dedicated drag racing personalities our sport has ever known.

I learned a lot from observing each of your interaction with her and observing how great of a "team" all of you were. There has never been and probably never will be a better team at qualifying and figuring out where you need to be on the ladder or figuring out the weather together. You guys took care of the competition on the racetrack but so much of winning happens before you even get there and your mom and you guys understood that better than anyone.

I will miss seeing her at the track. Please accept my belated condolences.

Hi! I am Jody and Toby's brother. I am also the youngest son of Janet and Dale. It has been over a month since my Mom passed away. The grieving process has been very hard for me as it has been for my brothers and Dad. To help my grieving process I have set up a memorial website in honor of my Mom. There are many pictures of my Mom and her sons to view. Everyone is more than welcome to post any pictures of my Mom and brothers on this website. Everyone is more than welcome to post memories, condolences, and/or light a candle in the memory of my Mom. Thank you to all the racers that posted so many kind words of my Mom on this website. It is very nice to know that so many people were touch by my Mom's kindness and generosity. She will be missed by all.
