charlie Tankley Passes

Rip

So sorry for your loss. Although we did not know Charlie, we have always enjoyed talking with Joey and Jamey at the races. We always enjoyed Charlie's posts and insight on insidecomp.

Mike and Michael Compton
 
Our sincerest condolences to the entire Tanksley family. Although we never met, his passion for racing with his sons was undeniable.
 
Very sad news - Our prayers are with the whole Tanksley family.
Rest in peace Charlie

We're going to miss talking to Charlie at the track and cutting up with him. He was a good guy and we already missed him this past weekend. Our thoughts and prayers are with the boys and the rest of the family.

The Hall boys
 
Every year, I would look forward to seeing Charlie at Indy; he was a good racer, and a great human being and patriot. My prayers, and those of my wife, go out to Joey, Jeremy, and Jamie. RIP my friend.
 
Had a lot of good times racing with Charlie and the boys...going back to the early 90's...Praying for the entire Tanksley family......

The Heckel's
 
To the Tanksley's clan, I was shocked by this news because I thought this last episode was just a bump in Charlie's life, not the end of it. The races will not be the same without him. But his legacy is not Comp Eliminator, it is his sons that he raised to be good people.

ps Now it will take ten new young comp compassions to equal Charlie's. It will take awhile but he will help out.

God Bless
