At least this gentleman left this world doing something that brought him great pleasure. I can think of worse ways to go. (Lying in a nursing home bed) Years ago we loss a fellow FF racer, he was kinda the leader of us FF guys (He had a fast Ford) First lap @ Westwood (Canadian track) he was leading the pack down the back straightaway in the rain, and as we came to 'Deers Leap' there was a deer in middle of the track, by the time his Formula Ford rolled to a stop, we had lost Steve. At the services Steve's wife told us don't feel bad for Steve, he was doing something he loved. That stuck with us to this day. Every time we got in our Fords after that Steve rode with us. Cheers Gentlemen

I had a Yamaha v max that had the most insane power band. I thought I was going to do a burnout but the tire was warm and sticky. I hit the rear fender ,said a quick prayer and God saved me. All I could see was the blue sky. It was on that day I learned throttle control . That"s why I am able to not wreak my cobra, it is all about throttle control.  |

I managed to scratch up some "unscratchable" flooring by pushing one of my kids around in a Big Wheel and sliding it sideways at a high rate of speed.  |

I once read a racer that said "If I die on track, don't let anyone say I died doing something I loved because I would have been crashing and I f'n hate crashing." |

You may recall that is where 2459 met its demise with Jim Bargelt behind the wheel, Tom.
