Roebling

snakeplissken · 03-31-2013, 10:33 AM

Saw a guy die at Roebling on Friday. Apparently he had a massive heart attack but had the wherewithal to bring his 911 turbo to a stop off turn 3. Our pit area was right in front of where he got off. It was surreal. The rest of the day I kept seeing his tracks go off in the grass and had to force myself to keep my eyes on the line.

He was 63. Too young but if I had my druthers I'd rather go out like that than in a hospital with a bunch of tubes in me...

RIP Bo.

I got to admit, if I was going to have a heart attack and die, doing it while driving a 911 turbo at Roebling would be about the best way to go. Sad, and 63 is way to early.

That is horrible!

And yet...a great way to go.. Sorry to hear it nonetheless.

Terrible. However, he went doing what he liked.

That was a sad day. May he R.I.P. I think its cool that older people have the intererest and passion, like this guy obviously had. 63 is still young .
