You will be missed Scott. God Bless you and may God keep his hands on your family during this time of loss. You were an inspiration to the sport and to come out of retirement twice shows your love and passion for such a great sport. We will miss you!

It is very hard to watch but it helps us understand what happened. Why in the F--- is there a wall at the end of the track?? Why is the sand pit so short?? Couldn't someone activate his chutes and brakes remotly?? (I heard he was out when the engine went boom, far before he hit the wall)

sad sad sad
