My youngest son, Michael, went to a W.E.A.R. race this weekend with several of his friends at Roebling Road near Savannah GA. They all run several classes including endurance, 600 and superstock. They all travel together and pit for each other during the races.
Michael called me about noon today to tell me that one of his friends, Roary Partin, was killed this morning during the 600 novice race. He went into turn one, tucked the front tire and went down. Two bikes behind him ran over him.
First time I've heard my son cry since he was a child. Very sad.
Michael had what could have been a very bad accident on his street bike about three years ago. It scared him bad enough to give up riding on the street and limit his riding to the track. At the time I thought that was a good idea. Now, I'm not sure!
