Scarey thing is listening to news reports and stuff on the internet....all the drivers were concerned about the safety of this race due to lack of space and the speeds the cars would be doing.....

All ok in hind site but too late now....

May he rest in peace and his family find comfort from the fact he probably knew little of what happened and he died doing what he loved.

After all the crashes and footage I've seen I was actually shocked by that.
