a bittersweet day

some sad sad news in motorsports today. canadian greg moore died in a horrific accident at the california motor speedway during the running of the califoria 500, season finale.

he was a very promising driver, one that might have become a world champion. he will be missed.

he had been in an accident yesterday while he was riding his scooter to morning practice. he only suffered a broken finger, and scratches, and after testing in another car, decided he would race. one can only imagine that the decision to race was the wrong one. how strange fate...

in other news, my team's rookie driver Juan Pablo Montoya became the world champion . he managed to do it just barely... tied in points to his nearest competitor, he won by virtue of having won more races this season. a horridly bittersweet day in racing.

i'm off now to go visit a friend who i've not seen in a long time.
