I live here in Birmingham and our local news just broke in with a confirmed report of two fatalities at barbers said the track official went on the track to get a dead bird.

Things like this is so sad R.I.P

There was an incident this morning at the Ed Bargy school/practice day. It involved a rider and a corner worker and there are no other details to release right now.

Please keep all supposition and guesses to yourself.

I thought so - I am checking Birmingham local news, and no one has any reports up yet. they've confirmed two fatalities though.

Sad regardless... I'm not usually a prayin' man, but...

This is shocking because I was supposed to be there today, makes you realize how dangerous this thing that we love really is.

Prayers sent and God bless their family and friends.
