mr lee Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Yup, a sad loss. :blink: His son* just took the win though this morning in his honour. My mate is over there and said his son cried when he won. *(I'm certain he said it was his son anyway, was loud as chuff on the phone...)

Bagsy Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 A tragic loss. Says a lot about his son's will power and mental attitude to be able to pull off a win only two days after the death of his father on the same circuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
