Tragic day today at FFW

Today was a tragic day today in Orlando at the Ford Fun Weekend when pro stock 5.0 driver Steve G ( I'm not sure of the correct spelling of his last name) lost control at over 200 mph of his modified pro 5.0 mustang, he crossed the center line started going air borne when he was t-boned by his opponent sending his car soring thru the air, it disintegrated in front of our eyes and burst into flames, saddly he died instantly, I was sick to my stomach after witnessing this wreck, and I pray never to see anything like this again, just a reminder of how dangerous racing can be and how fragile life is.

Hey,

I was at FFW today to witness the accident. Steve G. lost control right in front of where I was standing. It was a horrible and tragic loss for the racing community.

Here's a picture of Steve G's car that I took Sun. morning.

Steve's car wasn't removed from the track until about 6 PM.
