To the Dodson Family....
Me and Les have known Wayne since we opened our hobby shop back in 1994, when Wayne came by still in his painter pants straight from work offering to help build our first race track.Since then it is all history with Wayne always being there to help. What a great guy he was. Just plain "nice". He traveled all over to different tracks with his friends and buddies to race and always wanting to help. Wayne only a week ago helping us once again to finish our track. He was a true gentleman that had a great passion for the hobby. We loved Wayne and with great regret and he will be missed by all of us. The hobby world has lost a great electric car hobbyist and friend....
With deepest sympathy and love....
