What would you think if I sang out of tune?

I'd know you can't sing!!

You asked and I couldn't resist!

Just read your attachment well after posting the above, wasn't aware of the health issues involved. Health is the most important thing in our life's bar none IMO! Please accept my apology for posting this before reading the attached article!

Oh man really? Very sorry to hear.

That's terrible news. I had hoped he was getting better.

Very sad news and a great contributor to all race forums!
God Speed John. You will be missed sir.

I just saw a post on FB, RIP.

Terrible day for drag racing. Dave Mccleland and John DiBartolomeo both gone.

For some reason this loss seems to hurt more, What a great guy. I only meet John once but we did talk on the phone when he would call in.

RIP Johnny D

Met John at Moroso and Bradenton years back....always enjoyed his columns.

RIP sir...

He was a great racer long before he became known for his event coverage

He won a lot in the Puerto Rican Dream Vega in S/G in the 1980’s

He did racecar work and made very good hitches for motorhomes

Did at the track repairs and sold stuff and a lot of people looked to him for advice an info

He was a no nonsense kind of guy and devoted to the sport

R.I.P. Johnny D.

Knew John for over 50 years. I was there when he won the first bracket finals at York US 30. RIP John

He raced at my home track, Island Dragway with that car, a black Chevelle in the early days as bracket racing got going.

Just saw him in Charlotte at the 4 wide.
Doesn't seem real.

My prayers sent. Great long time member here. He will be missed.

We talked a few times at Moroso 5-Day and at the PRI when I was writing columns for DragRacingOnline.com.
Super nice guy, Prayers for him and his family.

RIP, our sport loses a great supporter.

I only had the pleasure one time, at the WFC, to talk to John for a few minutes, but it was crystal clear he was a genuine guy, period, who also loved drag racing. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

We had some great races over the years. He was always smiling.

Will miss seeing him at the track. Another person with nearly unlimited racing knowledge gone far too soon.
