OH NO ---- Thats terrible..... just saw the article about the mini bikes in TR&K. Thats real bad news, what a shame......
man that sucks, i am sure there will be a speacial intrest group formed to stop any more racing. the guys are going have to lay low for a while i am sure.
Dammit, I went to see a race once, it was crazy f-in dangerous. Alot of HAMBERs participate. Bad Bob and I were going to build cars, but never followed thru. Sad.
I don't think so,,,It is a outlaw sport and I don't see this deadly accident puting an end to it. It's like sky diving off skyscrapers people have died doing it but it's the danger that draws people like a moth to a flame.HRP
Man this is bad, I feel for his family. I also hope the guys that were there are not too messed up about it, being a party to something like this can really affect you. Viva La SFVISBF
Could be the start of the end. Sad, looked like a blast. I'm sure the danger was part of the appeal. Frank
Since Im from the sticks, Iv'e never heard of illegal soapbox racing, had to go to you tube and see what the hell this is all about, Damn, thats some crazy shit, kinda reminds me of riding a scateboard down a long hill when I was a kid, and gettin road rashed. Anyway R.I.P. to the kid. Here's one link I found: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fkcWKG-TZQ
Man, that's too bad. I hope it doesn't put an end to the whole thing. I was looking forward to building one! Nick
Wow, that is terrible news. I wached all their vidios and they were crazy! Allthough I loved the races and watching them I could see that it was only a matter of time before something like this happened. I feel very sorry for the kids family! Sad day!
Damn! That's a shame, I love watching the videos. RIP man, 2nd story I've heard today of someone dying doing what they loved.
