Jody Hendley, WSMC #188

Jody was one of the mellowest, friendliest guys at the track. Your first conversation with him could seem like the hundredth, he was that easy to be around.

Nothing sounded like Jody's bike. You always knew when he was on the track. It was distinctive in sight and sound, and the guy on the bike was one of the best in the club.

Eric Pinson, Jody's teammate, rode a memorial lap on Jody's Harley. Craig Hubert had just waved the green flag and Eric was now on the flying lap. The desolate track captures the loss of our fellow rider.

Craig waves the checkered flag as Eric brings home the Harley Sportster. Jody may have turned his final lap on this mortal plane, but we all know he'll never stop racing as long as we have him in our hearts every time we're out there...
