If you have ever purchased an Agency Power part or been to the Vivid Racing shop, then you have been graced with the incredible talent, experience, and kind heart of Mike Porter. Â Unfortunately Mike was taken from his family and friends, including us at Vivid Racing/Agency Power from a freak brain aneurysm. Â If you ever met Mike, then you heard a good story. Â Mike worked for Vivid Racing now for a couple of years. Â I asked Mike one time, “has someone ever taken your leg?” Â Mike had suffered an auto accident in a old drag Vega which he now had the Bentley of prosthetics on. Â He told me, “if they take it, I hope they can out run my gun”. Â I laughed… Â His leg made from carbon fiber was part inspiration for our tubular carbon fiber products. Â As our lead fabricator’s father-in-law, Mike taught us patience, viewing things from the other side, and proved that with age comes wisdom. Â Definitely out aging us, he would kick any young kids butt in working on a car. Â You asked, Mike would help. Â Anytime we were on the dyno with a badass car, he was there taking pictures with his phone.
For a lot of us here, it is a swift kick in the face at how fragile life is.Mike definitely made his mark in many of our lives. Â With unexpected tragedy, sometimes the family can use help. Â If you would like, you can make donations by clicking the Paypal button below…Â As a grandfather, father, husband, and friend to others, we know the family will appreciate your kind words spread through the internet.
Wow, surprised as you are and I’m so sorry for the loss of the Vivid Racing fam and if course the blood family of Mike… He always was mellow, appreciated my giving of goods including Snap On shirts! NOS etc. Rip Mike
I’m at a loss for words. Mike was a great friend and co-worker. He was always willing to help out at any moment and got the job done when promised. Mike definitely had a sense of humor, as you can tell by the last picture 🙂 My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.
Mike will definately be missed by his family & friends.. He was truly “one of a kind”. I always admired the way he treated my son, Jason like one of his own. His memory will live on in the lives of his loved ones forever…..
RIP Mike, My thoughts and prayers are with Jason and his family and friends. It’s not easy to lose someone so soon.
May Gods strength, love and peace be with Mikes family; Mike was always so pleasant and kind; I’m graced and blessed to have his workmanship ans skill in my car; may his presence always be remembered…
Wow. Just goes to show ho fragile life is and ho swiftly it can be snuffed out. To Mike’s family, my thoughts are with you. To all of us who take life for granted at times: Carpe Diem. You never know when it may be your last day.
To Vivid racing/ Agency Power Part Team and Mike’s friends.Thankyou for your kind words and best wishes to his family.They are very much appreciated.Mike will be truly missed.We the extended Porter family loved him very much. Thankyou all from his cuz in Central Texas cousin
Even though i have never step foot in Vivid Racing and had never had the golden opportunity to meet Mike personally, im sure he has the heart of gold and passion unlike no other… Most would have given up or slumped when given a difficult test from God.
May his family and friends always know that he will be blessed and that he is now enjoying in paradise.
As for vivdracing, im sure he will always overlook and take care of u guys from above 🙂

Mike was,is and will always be number one! I feel so sorry for those who loved him most. Mike will be missed dearly by all that knew him. He did a wonderfull job for those at Vivid Racing and Agency Power,
I feel very confident those at V.R. and A.P. will step up at a difficult time like this and help the family with the financial burden they face with the sudden loss of Mike.
Mike rest in peace brother, you will be missed and never forgotten.
I want to say thank you to everybody at Vivid Racing. I know Mike loved working there. I was as happy as he was when he started working there. Ever since we were little hellions,we’ve been into cars.He was like a kid in a candy store. I appreciate all the kind words and things you’re doing. It’s from the bottom of my heart when I say thank you. You guys rock.
