He will be missed.

Another good day at the Toyz house... Gave my final presentation and received good remarks. Just have to slog through the rest of the class's presentations this week and next week.

Fred was working a race at Elma Friday night and was hit by a race car before a restart.
He couldn't be revived.
He will be missed.

Just got back from the computer store, SWMBO bought me a new puter for fathers day. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] It's an Apple I-Mac with a 20" screen and all kinds of gee whiz stuff that I don't understand. Apparently it will run the external ballistics programs I use much better than this laptop. Wife and Son are setting it up as I type. Woo Hoo!

You know, I was reluctant to post this to begin with, but I've had a few beers now and well, I'll say it anyway...
I've been to the Skagit Speedway a few times over the years and have really enjoyed the races. I've helped out some friends in the pits a few times in Wenatchee and Spokane upon invitation, just as an extra hand, definitely not for my technical abilities... The things I saw and heard when I was there really shine within our group as well. Individuals contributing selflessly and helping other out. Why, because it's not only the right thing to do, but it's like helping family. We're all out there to have a great time, and the more people that contribute, the better the event is for everyone. Some people, and it sounds like Fred is one, that contribute so much they shape the sport without knowing or purposefully doing so. They're just good people.
Even though I haven't heard his name before tonight, Fred and his family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
But what's even more striking to me, is that this can be anyone of us. Sometimes we're out there and take risks in the name of having fun... and in an instant, you could be gone. From what I've read in the posts, Fred may not have been thinking he was taking any risks. I didn't think I was taking huge risks a few times and was carted away to the hospital... I was lucky, I got to go to the hospital.
My point isn't to stand on a soap-box and blab endlessly, but it's just to say: Be safe, not only on the machines, but off as well. It only takes one small thing to happen and we're attending your memorial service...

Well, after reading many articles, forum posts and talking to a couple of 4x4 club presidents, I'm gonna pass on the Naches Trail ride this Saturday. There seems to be some confusion as to when it legally opens up for motorized traffic, especially on the Greenwater side. Everywhere I read it states July 15th, some say it depends on the condition of the trail and recent weather. I'll just wait until July 15th, so to not ruffle any feathers, don't need to give the greenies any amunition.
