Mark Sommer

1953 - 2018

 For those who have not heard, NWOR lost a friend, competitor, mentor, and core worker on Saturday morning.

After a brief but brutal battle with cancer, Mark Sommer has passed away, leaving a huge void in the autocross community.

Mark's family has planned a celebration of his life to be held at The Lodge at Strawberry Acres, 950 S. McCord Rd., Holland, OH on Sunday, May 6, 2018 between 3 and 8 p.m.
