My son was flagging at Murphy's yesterday and was the first to get to Danielle.  He is so torn up by this and as a father, husband and rider/racer myself, I am too.  I didn't know any of them personally but I certainly feel for all the families involved.  We all can.  We do this for fun.  We know the risks but this should never be the end result.  Prayers to the families.  May they somehow find peace that they went doing what they love.

Yeah, my wife and I saw the FB posts rolling through this morning. So scary man. It's one thing to think about it happening to me, but a whole other thought when I think about my son. I can't imagine how broken I'd be having to deal with a child passing on a track like that. This fuckin sport bro...

I don't know, but Danielle seemed to always have on all of the gear and protective equipment.  We skipped because of the weather but my son would have been in the same class as her and I just can't imagine all of the grief for the family, the flaggers right there, the first people to get to her, etc

She went off track and hit a tree. She was only 13.

Prayers to the family and also to your son.  I had a friend crash bad and get hurt and it messed me up far worse than any of my own crashes!  Hang in there.
