Keep Mark Martinez in your prayers (1 Viewer)

[Jenn]

Racers have always been my heros...but I think it's very important to acknowledge and honor a true hero and racer...Tony Lukesh, he is the one that got Mark out of the fire. Thank you Tony, and God Bless you

So sorry to hear this, Jenn. I know this has been a tough year for you.

I believe it's in an old copy of Don Garlits' biography I've got somewhere that he explains that the danger from that much burning isn't always initially, but in the following weeks as the kidneys try to keep up.

I got this from the abqdragway website.

Obituary

MARTINEZ -- Mark A.

Some of the racers are going to take their cars to the funeral procession on open bed trailers.

Several of the local racers had pulled out of the Dallas race to attend the funeral.
