For a few years there . . . it was becoming tragic on the AMA Grand National circuit.
#92 Rodney Farris,
#27 Davey Camlin and
#21 Will Davis all passed away from racing injuries. They were top riders too. Pros. There were a few others like Andy Tresser, Toby Jorgenson, Jimmy Sumner . . . some amateur riders. Flat track has always been a dangerous way to make a living, but when the riders are personable and your heros . . . you forget how dangerous a sport this is - in reality. We can all hope 2014 is a safe year with Daytona starting the schedule this weekend. Go fast, but ride smart - so we can all be doing this for years to come. Keep 'em on 2 wheels boys . . .
Nicely written mate, go hard, go fast, go safe.
