It is with profound sadness that I report that Matt Yip has passed away.

I have no information regarding if or when services will be held. If someone has such information, please let the group know.

I'm very saddened to hear this.  It was Matt who got me into motorsports - in the early 2000's he took me to a few autocrosses (Ft. Meade MD IIRC) and then once the hook was set, assisted with locating my first race car ('73 2002),  he even raced that car before I did because I didn't have a comp license yet.  We drifted apart over the last 10-years but I would check in with him occasionally or bump into him at Summit or some other club-related event.  I knew of his medical issues and thought he had it under control - his death comes as a great surprise and I hope this ends whatever suffering he may have been going through.
