    Did any of you see the incident at the redlight after you leave Westmoreland? I was sitting in the turning lane with 3 cars ahead of me. All of a sudden, the second car which was an Expedition, just floors it and rams the first car in line. The car stop the Expedition, but it is sitting there just spinning both tires, smoke going everywhere.

    Well it turns out the guy in the third car was the son of the driver of the Expedition. He goes up to the window of the Ex. and just starts hitting the window trying to break it.

    I get out to see what the hell was going on. I get up there and it was a little boy about 4 years old and his dad driving. The dad was having a seizure or heart attack or something, and had tensed up with his foot on the gas.

    So I start panicking. I go back to my truck to find anything that we could break out the window with. The only thing I had was a case half of a motor. I go back and beat on this window for probably 5 or 10 minutes, and never did get it to break. The whole time I was doing this I could see the little boy crying and hittin his dad tryin to get him to wake up...it was pretty intense. At this point I could still see the guy shaking.

    Finally a guy came over with a hammer, and the glass finally broke. Keep in mind that the whole time, it was pouring down rain, both tires spinning, smoke going everywhere. One of the tires actually blew at one point, and I'm pretty sure the motor locked up right before we got the window broke. Everything just happened so quick.

    By the time we got in, the guy had stopped breathing and shaking, and was just as limp as could be. I go back to my truck, and as I'm gettin in I look back and I see the cops pull up and check the guy, and they just turned their back on him. It was just sad seeing the guy dying there in front of his two kids and not being able to do anything about it. I feel like I did the best I could though

    But other than that, the race went pretty good. Came in fourth a minute behind third, 1:10 behind second, 14 MINUTES BEHIND FIRST! THAT IS FREAKING REDICULOUS! He finished 18th overall and had a better time that half the pro class

    Dustin, I was pulling up to the stop light as the smoke was going everywhere. I didn't know what was going on but with all the smoke I though it was a terrible accident. Then I am pretty sure I saw you and I had thought you had wrecked. That is very unfortunate. You did everything you could do to help out, God had other plans for that guy. Glad to hear you are okay though buddy.

    Yea the guy finishing 18th overall in our class is pretty crazy. I don't know about that, kind of makes me wonder why I am even racing if crap like that will happen. If he continues to do that I might as well jump up to B class to get away from the sandbaggers in C. Plus it might help racing with faster guys.

    So Dustin you going to Loretta's lol? I need some one to ride with, thinking about breaking out the helmet cam for this ride, need to get some good footage of you dusting me.
