Jack. the younger brother of Mike Konle. Expert #89x. was stricken while driving to work. collapsed and died of undetermined causes. The loss of Jack Konle - always a strong contender, true enthusiast, and one of the best-likedriders ever to grace the competition scene will leave an unfillable gap in the racing ranks and in the hearts of his countless friends.
