[Shotimes] OT: A sad weekend in motorsports...

[Josh Salaets]

Hey Everyone,

We were all excited Saturday morning as we headed out to watch our first rally
up close and personal.  We grabbed a bunch of chairs, some drinks, and even
packed a lunch, and got out there by 11:00  in the morning.   Unfortunately
our outing ended on a very sad note and we weren't able to see any of the
rally cars race.  Mark Lovell and Roger Freeman (a very popular Subaru rally
team) were the first team out yesterday and they fatally wrecked just after
starting - about 1.5 minutes from where we were sitting.  No one knew the
details until much later in the day so families could be informed, so we went
away a little bummed about not seeing any action.  When we heard what really
happened we were totally shocked.  The full story can be found here:

It's such a tragic and devastating loss for SCCA and the sport in general, not
to mention their families! : (  At least they passed doing something they both
obviously loved...
