A good friend passed away today...
David Poole, who was a writer for the Charlotte Observer and radio personality on Sirius Radio, died today of a heart attack at age 50. I first met David at an IMSA road race event my father participated in at the Lowes Speedway road course about 20 years ago. We remained in contact ever since - emailing regularly - speaking via phone occaisonally... In fact, we exchanged a few emails last evening. David was being (typically) quite opinionated about the last lap accident at Talledaga during Sunday's Nascar Sprint Cup race - and was getting quite a lot of heat for his opinions. So, I was giving him some good natured ribbing about his contrary nature - and he was telling me to go f$%k myself - like usual!! This afternoon, while at home, he suffered a heart attack and died....
RIP and Gods Speed - my friend...
