    RIP Dude!!
    At the least you'd have been having a shit load a fun before it went wrong!
    In his 20's that's sad. Regards to family and friends!

    I'd imagine cowboyz there is going to be a long list of people wanting to see that!
    Pity this had to happen with the track being so young whatever the reason!

    Deepest condolences to family and friends of the fallen rider.

    It is not something you expect to happen at a track day - these are normally thought of as the safest place to ride. It's extremely tragic.

    dunno if its true, but I heard stopries about how the track was designed with its runoff areas to ride one way (say clockwise), but then they realised that it would mean the track was too close to the motorway at the end of the straight or summat, and so they reversed the track direction, meaning that the runoff areas are ok, but not as good as they could be. Can anyone confirm that?

    definitely looking for a report on this...

    Its going to cause enormous hassles with teh missus next time I want to goto a track day...

    It was a fast and ugly crash. The very small blessing was he went just as fast.

    RIP.
