Tragic death at a californian meet

Post by Taipan » Wed Oct 08, 2003 4:45 pm

The post says it all (not to mention about people's behavior whether involved or simply trying to make a comment in a forum until the admin closed the thread after 12 pages).

A tragic reminder that everyone joining a club meet on an open road may meditate.
Easier said than done, it's so easy to be carried out but what a stupid and horrible way to die.

If that's what you're saying that's a pretty low blow about a tragic event that has surely affected many peoples families in the worst way possible. Not really a cause for brand one-upmanship I think... [img]images/graemlins/24430-audibash.gif[/img]

My condolances also but IMHO I do not think that RS246 should even be passing comment on such a tragic event [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] I have my own strong views but some things are best left unsaid.... especially on this site

Let's be safe on these meets guys [img]images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
