Sad to hear. I saw one get killed at Daytona they did not even take his helmet off just put him the ambulance. That first turn when they take off the raceway is the killer going from like 190 to maybe 70 very rough I was sitting right in front of it.

AMA not clear on the year in the 90's. Daytona is so big of a track the cycles look like "ants" on the backstretch so if you sit where they make the turn to the road course best spot but that's where most wrecks occur.

Jimmy Adamo in 1993?

Terrible loss.

Fuck...already?


I remember showing some friends a couple highlight reels last year, and we all were stumped as to how that race is even legal. There are so many risks involved; both racer and spectator.

I think 240-something have died in that race since 1907. Like 6 died in 2011.
