I removed the name - sorry, didn't realize you had taken that out of the postings.

Someone mentioned on NCS the funeral was tonight. Once again, I wish I had something better to offer than my condolences.

I appreciate it more than you can know!

Thank you!

So sorry, Troy.

I lost a friend to a freak track accident a few years ago, and it still makes me tear up to think of him occasionally. As others have said - just remember him well.

I do think Doug would be a good guy to talk too, as he's a great guy and had been dealing with the after-effects of a similar situation for the last 13 months (though the person who passed wasn't as close to him as Brian was to you). His screen-name on charlottesportbikes is Hotwheels.

Hang in there, man.

I just got back from a week in California and haven't been online until this morning and saw this on another site. Very sorry to hear.

Just a dinky low-speed low-side on cold tires during a warm-up lap before a novice race. Ordinarily wouldn't have amounted to anything, but the timing & the weird way he spun was such that the guy behind him wasn't able to avoid running over him (made a good attempt, but then my friend spun right back in front of his wheels, from what I heard).

Sorry for the hi-jack Troy, but my friends accident as well as Brian's just illustrates how on a motorcycle things can go bad so quickly. All it takes is that small mistake, or the convergence of the wrong variables. I remember Trent's funeral, hearing his mom sobbing, and the look on his brother's face (who was at the track with him) like it was yesterday. Hang in there, Troy.


Be as safe as circumstances allow and always keep the guard up out there, everyone.

No need to be sorry....I wanted to know as well...as one of my options may be track riding.

We all needed/wanted to hear that.
