I couldn't believe it when I heard about it. He and his son were just racing a pair of C5Rs last time I had watched them. The media made this giant hubub about how either of them had a chance to win, but because they fought each other the whole way instead of helping each other out in that race, they both ended up losing ther position. I read a number of articles and it was blown out of proportion. They made it seem like they were enemies and didn't want to help each other out on the track, which was utter crap. It was just the media being the media and creating a story.
It's ironic that he died yesterday while helping his son and his teammate keep their position to win the race. Now all of the witers are pouring their hearts out... saying how unselfish he was just a month later.
Our prayers go out to a great competitor and his family.
