    R.I.P. Dan Weldon
    « on: October 16, 2011 - 07:53:31 PM »
    Terrible wreck at the Las Vegas Indy car race today took the life of Indy 500 champ Dan Weldon today. Send his family prayers. I'm not a huge Indy car fan but he was a great driver.

    We all know they take a risk evertime they get in their car.
    No different than you or I for that matter.

    It's a sad day in the Motorsports.

    Jimmy Johnson and other racers are saying Indy cars and oval tracks are too dangerous. On such a small track they really do bunch up and as we saw terrible things can happen. I guess leave it up to the drivers it's their a$$ on the line.
