My heartfelt prayers go out to this poor man and his family...
These guys and gals are nothing short of heros in my book. Regardless of how protected they may be during routine running, these folks often put themselves in harms way to help a driver.
I will never forget that corner at Sebring 2 years ago. I blew by 2 flaggers, on fire, and this guy comes way out out of his station, waving a huge extinguisher above his head just a few feet off the track! I was coming hot into his corner and coming off the track... The guy never missed a beat. He took charge, had me open my hood while coaxing me out the car. Before I knew what was happening, he had the fire out.
God Bless this poor soul and every other person who bakes in the sun, trudges through the rain and mud, and puts their hides on the line to keep us and our cars safe, all for the Love of the Game....
