Horrible tragedy. RIP

Bad things happen in 3's. Talladega is today...

 

7.2 magnitude earthquake in Turkey. Race is safe.

 

Let's hope not.

 

That's terrible

 

I forgot that we lost an off road racer last weekend in a plane crash as well...

 

Yep, Rick Huseman with his brother Jeff. Although I never saw anything mentioned on TV about it, just a short article on the web.

 

They mentioned it on SPEED Center on the one I saw. Unfortunately it got overshadowed by Dan Wheldon passing away.

How about that David Regan crash today, I held my breath for a second there...

 

You mean Regan Smith? Yeah, extremely hard hit.

 

Oops, yeah him. Really hard hit

 

I just watched the video on youtube. Was he falling off his bike or what, because he was basically leaning onto the track.

 

WOW! What a shame. I remember watching him on the 250's and he was awsome. He got a bit dangerous when he moved up to the big bikes, but was still interesting to watch.

How ironic that Valintino Rossi was one of the ones to hit him, they were good friends.

Rest in peace Marco!

 

Yeah, he was going to low-side it if didn't try to save it. That's why he came back across the track.
