Shocked to see this! Looks like we will have to wait for the news to run before we get anymore details. Thoughts and best wishes are with Larry.

That's a raw deal for Larry. And I need to throw this out there for all the naysayers when Larry "lost" his ride to Leah. I thought there was more to the story and withheld my judgment. I am glad I did. Get well soon, Larry

He had it, and beat it

You know, over the past couple years I noticed his voce sounded kind of rough several times. Never thought it could be cancer though. Glad to hear he beat it!

That's good to hear. When I saw that tweet from you guys the news link didn't have any other info other than he had cancer. I have fixed the title accordingly.

When I first seen the news story, I thought of Larry Dixon Sr. Several years ago Dixon Sr. had to deal with some cancer and beat it as well.

Surprised by this news and thankful for the good outcome. Wow.

and the GOOD NEWS is....Cancer doesn't HAVE to be a death sentence.

One tough dude. Always felt he was one of the last of the Mahicans in terms of his childhood in the sport and how he handled himself while with Snake. The picture of him and his dad at the Winternationals says it all about the sport we love.

I knew something was wrong with him, he just seemed to be aging quickly. Larry is a class act, always liked him. So glad he's going to be ok!

That was my impression as well. I'm really glad to hear he beat it.

Larry always seemed to be thinner than he needed to be (I thought, "these racers... always looking for an edge!")....then add cancer and things get dangerous fast. Glad to hear the outcome was a good one

I thought he was looking a little sickly when I saw him in Gainesville last year. So happy he beat cancer's ass!!!!

That was my impression as well. I'm really glad to hear he beat it.

I was also thinking the same thing last year, that he suddenly aged quicker.

Please it's Mohegans, not mahicans. That's like saying we're Amurigans....

If you're going to correct somebody it would help if you were correct. It's Mohicans.

Oh wow. Am so glad Larry is ok.
