Sad weekend at Loudon

Our last race weekend of the year was marred by the death of one of our Novice racers in race 4 on Saturday.

Steve Almeida was killed almost instantly in a bad start line crash when he bobbled his start and was knocked down and then struck by several racers behind him. One other racer was also injured in the crash, although not seriously.

I was very proud of all our cornerworkers who had to deal with a very difficult recovery and cleanup, I know some had a tough time later that evening, as did the medical crew. Thankfully, events like this are rare.

 

My thoughts are with his family along with the other injured rider(s).

 

Our prayers are with Steve's friends and family.

 

Prayers sent.

 

That's very, very sad to hear. Best wishes to all involved.

 

Sad news, indeed. Thoughts and best wishes for all the family, friends and corner workers.

They are tough times....but keep yer heads up and try to stay positive.

 

dang.

 

Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, all the riders involved, corner workers, and everyone else touched by this loss...

 

Prayers sent

 

RIP Steve

 

What a shame, sorry to hear that.....

 

Right now my thoughts are with his friends, family and also the cornerworkers and officials who dealt with this.

Roadracing is the most exhilarating sport I know of, but it can also be very brutal and unforgiving.

 

Thoughts and prayers from the Witchkraft crew.

 

WERA was lucky this didn't happen to Pete at BMP.

Prayers to family and friends along with racers and workers affected.

 

What did I miss?? Did some delete an inappropriate comment?

 

Call me crazy, but I'd say PETE was lucky it didn't happen to Pete. My thoughts go out to that riders family.
