Thanks for keeping us all informed. I read one link someone posted of anews
report. It indicated he did not lift at the end of the straight and probably
had suffered a heart attach.
I have been thinking about him, racing,life and death. To die while doing
the thing you love,to die with your passion, that is something I think we
all probably would choose as the way to go. Dying with your family at the
side of your bed after an illness, as my father did, provided comfort to
those of us who are there, but is not how he would have chosen to go.
So,at the start of each race and practice day, I intend to say goodbye and
be at peace with all who are about me,and someday, I too,might die with my
boots on. I hope this post has not been offensive to anyone,it certainly is
not meant to be.
