RIP

That explains the ambulance I saw earlier coming from Willow.

It does not make it any better or worst but damn that sucks.

Re: Racer dies in Willow Springs 250/50
Gees. I always thought willow was "relatively safe". The highest speed crash I ever had was in 8, I didn't get hurt.

It had to be the three coming together in the last "squeeze" at the end of nine.
Motorcycle racing is dangerous: All bets are off when you hit each other.

I'm sorry for the family and friends.

See ya on the big long ride, bud.

From what I've heard it was kind of the enetrance to 9. It ended up that one of his best friends ran him over as he was sliding on the track...

Just a terrible situation.

Re: Racer dies in Willow Springs 250/50
I was at the track this weekend to race in the 250/50 but due to a flat tire and some jetting issues I did not make the race. Jesus came over to my pit spot that I was sharing with another 250 racer Al White they talked about working together during the race to catch people and not slowing each other up during the race with a battle. He seamed like a really nice guy.

RIP Jesus.
