SUPER STOCK RACER SUCCUMBS TO CANCER
"Mark loved racing - the challenge, the competition, and the fellowship," said fellow Super Stock racer Alex Denysenko. "He worked hard on his car, and enjoyed every second of it. And he was also right there with a hand to help others. He may not have won many races over his lifetime, but his fast, sincere smile and quick wit won him a place in a lot of hearts."
Palmdale, California-based Super Stock racer Mark Tallent passed away on March 26, 2008, after fighting a bout with an aggressive form of cancer. He celebrated his 48th birthday just three weeks prior to his death. Tallent is survived by his parents, his wife Karen, four children and many many friends.
"Mark loved racing - the challenge, the competition, and the fellowship," said fellow Super Stock racer Alex Denysenko. "He worked hard on his car, and enjoyed every second of it. And he was also right there with a hand to help others. He may not have won many races over his lifetime, but his fast, sincere smile and quick wit won him a place in a lot of hearts."
Denysenko conveyed there will be a memorial service/tribute/bash for Mark held this Saturday April the 5th from 3:00 PM until the party ends and that's just the way Mark would have wanted it. Everyone is invited to attend, according to Denysenko.
