Driver killed at local raceway...

For those who regularly race at local tracks (stock or non-stock), please give each race the respect and attention it deserves...you never know when something can go wrong and disaster will strike. Below is a link to a newspaper article about a young driver killed Friday night at a local raceway. This particular race involved non-stock cars. The driver killed was the son of a father and son team that had raced for about 15 years. And the track had a 30 year record of no fatal accidents.

...for those who are racing...be careful! You never know what the next race will bring.

I suppose that's the risk we all take getting behind the wheel of a car. Drive safe guys and don't track your car unless you're 100% sure it's in tip top condition.

Always a heart breaker to read stories like that... as said its a risk we all take for our passion.... to take the car to its limits... Buckle up and drive safe fellas...
