If you can't get the article, this is a short tribute someone put together for Alex.

Alex would bop through the paddock on a Pogo Stick. Never seen a kid get so much air on one of those things. You can/would have someone to root for when Alex and his older brother Brent were on track. Not only can they rail, you can't miss the "school bus" team logo on their bikes.

This weekend, the paddock will be in mourning. If there's anything that can be done, everyone will be ready to give our support.

 

God speed little brother racer.
I was on scene at this incident with the rest of the MARRC Safety Crew. We have to try and be emotionally removed when we have to handle this type of situation, but this one really, really hurt.
No words can express the sadness I felt when his father came over to hold his sons hand.
My heart felt condolences for everyone touched by this tragedy.

 

Godspeed

 

Unbelievable. Damn.

Godspeed Alex.

i didn't know him personally but i was garaged one down from them the last two LRRS weekends. i was amazed seeing him and his brother jumping all over the place on that pogo stick and wrestling in the paddock and then going out and racing. the kid had so much energy!

 

I was pitted next Garage down at Homestead the weekend the picture was taken. I remember seeing Alex and the rest of those fast kids on and off the track. They seemed so happy and having a blast goofing off in the pits. My thoughts and prayers are with Alex and those who loved him, as well as the others involved in this tragedy. Godspeed.

 

Sympathy to family, friends, fellow racers and the cornerworkers involved. May you all eventually find peace from this tragedy. RIP young racer.

 

Agreed. He is one of the nicest people in the paddock. Thanks for checking up on him Greg.

RIP Alex.

 

Condolences to his family. RIP

 

I started racing at loudon back in 1987, soon after i met bruce and another guy.Sorry forgot the name). he rode a tick honda hawk.since then Bruce has become an incredible giver in the sport.He has had some of the greats ride for him.When i read the news yesterday I had just got done yelling at my kid for acting like a spoiled brat,we were an vacation at the beach and we had to leave.Naturally he was sour because we had to leave and drive home.When I read the news of Bruce's son I felt like a total jackass! I seem to have taken things for granted.Imagine if this were to happen to my son at age eleven? I guess being pissy with your kids is something we would all like to NOT do.It just makes me feel horrible to hear that it happened,this was a clear message for me.Hug them and tell them I love you more than you should because you just never know.I dont know how any positive could come from this situation but if all of us give the kids a little more love maybe it will help somehow.I really wish this didnt have to happen to anyone anymore. Godspeed Alex! (my son's name is also Alex)
