Re: Death at proving grounds....

Guy driving the truck is a stand-up guy, it was not the best situation but not unlike literally hundreds of other cars/trucks driving around there with people being stupid. It is extremely unfortunate how it went down and a testament to how fleeting life is.

I didn't know Brian but lots of people around me knew him and say he is a real nice guy. Thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

FWIW Yes Proving Grounds has grown but it doesn't have to be this way, not going because bad stuff happens...I had a blast all weekend and as someone actually participating in events I never honestly had much time to do much stupid. I get that people want to go and spectate and get crazy but people need to be reasonable and take it easy. We don't need situations like this overshadowing the great event that BIR, MAP, CWSCC, and others are putting on.

Also, the bump they hit (I think) needs to be addressed by BIR. It was right by my campsite and I went over it in my evo once...about knocked my teeth out. It's in sort-of a round-about so you're more likely to not drive over it unless there's traffic.
