Recieved an email from lowyder993s (Jim) that Mark Wichman has passed, no other details. He was a great guy, and always helpful to me. Very sorry to this, my sincere condolenses to his family.

That really is sad news, Dan. Mark was a really nice guy and a great Porsche enthusiast. He was having a lot of fun vintage racing his old 911 the last time I saw him. He will be missed.

very very sorry for his family.
Mark was really funny as they judged his vintage 911 at the SD Concour last parade. :D

Yes, sad.
Mark was an extremely quick 911 driver.
Anybody know what happened to him? I hadn't seen him in a while.
Perhaps Don Clark would know?
