Like some of the other newer members to the NESBA family, I didn't know Mike very well; just spoke with him a couple of times. I always appreciated his emphasis on safety at the riders meeting..."Look to your left and right, these are the guys who are going to determine your fate today...Ride with respect...If you have to think about the pass, don't attempt it...This isn't golf."
I particularly recall watching him pack up another rider's bike and gear at NJMP in early October. I thought it was kind of him and was especially struck by the care with which he handled everything; a real nice guy. Now, just under a month later, it's his gear that somebody had to pack up.
Echoing what so many others have said, we lost a truly great guy. Despite not knowing him very well I will always remember him at track days to come.
Condolences to his family and friends. Godspeed Mike.

That's beautiful. I'm just a new member to the NESBA family and this forum, but from the outpouring of comments here, it's obvious Mike was well respected and liked. I hope that his family can find peace and comfort in the coming days and weeks.
The following is a favorite of mine and it helped me at the time of my grandmothers passing:
I am standing by the seashore.
A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean.
She is an object of beauty and strength, and I stand and watch until at last she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sun and sky come down to mingle with each other.
Then someone at my side says, 'There she goes!
Gone where? Gone from my sight - that is all.
She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and just as able to bear her load of living freight to the places of destination.
Her diminished size is in me, not in her.
And just at the moment when someone at my side says, 'There she goes!, there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout 'Here she comes!'
RIP Mr Moore

Never knew the guy but it hits you just the same when we lose one of our own. I have no doubt that I would have liked the man and it's sad to read about his early passing. RIP fellow rider.

I didn't really know Mike, I had only been to 2 NESBA track days. I have a huge amount of respect for his professionalism and desire to keep everyone safe. I do remember during the meeting on Sunday how happy he was to get a cup of coffee from his wife. He had a huge smile on his face. The last time I saw him was when he was gearing up and I saw the cool paint job on his bike. I wish the family well as they recover from the huge loss.

Such a fine man who encouraged us all to better ourselves, then led the way to help us get there. The lessons he taught us on the track were never left just there.....
Respect and look out for the person next to you
Seek excellence and perfection at every turn
Be consistent, always
Stand ready to help anyone....anytime....without exception
Some times you have to slow down and get back to the basics in order to move ahead
Most of all:
Always push yourself to be the best you can, but have a ton of fun doing it!
I'll carry these lessons as well as my memories of Mike forward....it was my honor to have known him.
My condolences go out to Julie, Mikes family, and friends. Please know you are all in our hearts as you try to cope with this sad and tragic loss.

As I sit here typing through some tears, I will ALWAYS remember the great times we had! From Beaver Run, sitting at the campfire drinking some good scotch, to sitting with Mike and Jules having a nice bottle of wine and shooting the breeze with Dave Yarnell and his wife at NJMP.
I know that Mike had a zest for life, and lived it to its fullest with his wife Jules. He was always ready to help, if anyone needed it.
I have a hole in my heart, and it hurts that I will not see you again because you were one of the people that made other people feel good, you always a kind word. Always a Gentleman.
Jules, if you read this, I am truly sorry. I know how much you loved Mike, and how much he loved you, and it always showed when the two of you were together.
I will miss my friend. We will all miss Mike
Godspeed Mike!

I wish there was something that could be said to ease the pain that his family is going through right now. My heart hurts from hearing this news. This is truly a sad day......
