Mike Dupont Jr. rest in peace my friend

[OConnor Racing]

Mike was a good friend and like a son to me. He started riding when he was 4 years old and began Racing shortly after. He had a very successful NEMA career and then moved up to the NESC. Mike always had great input about his engines. It was kind of cool watching an 8 year old kid tell me to go back to the drawing board. Mike got his pro licence a few years ago and had a very promising motocross career. He will be missed so much by so many people. I saw him a couple of days ago and gave him a couple of new stickers for his bikes. He asked for an extra one for the back of his BMW. He slapped it on the trunk and then peeled out of the parking lot. Last time I saw him. Rest in peace little bro.

Thanks for all of the support guys! I dealt with some of the hardest sh*t I've ever had to deal with in my life today. Mike Sr. and I went to Mike Jr's bedroom today and started cleaning it out. Mom won't go back till all of his stuff is gone. Reality slaps you hard when you got to deal with stuff like this. Pictures of him racing, his clothes still smelled like him, his wallet, his poems and guitar. Mike Jr. died a needless and senseless death. No parent should ever have to outlive their kid! I've made an attempt to teach some of the younger people a few things here on the forum. This is the only thing you need to remember..........Love your parents, talk to them. They will understand. Get good grades and study hard. Your future depends on it. Follow your dreams and make them happen. Don't be pressured by things that you don't want to do........these are NOT YOUR FRIENDS!!!!!! Stay away from drugs............nothing good will ever come of it. Sometimes it takes things like this to make you take a few steps back and look around. Take a look at the man in the mirror. Mike ran the number 971 for his entire career. His teem mate will be running Mikes jersey for the rest of the year ( I'm sure he'll be disqualified ) and I'm having a bunch of 971 DUPONT stickers made up in his honor. If I send you one. Please run it. If you want one , PM me.
