I guess the term, crash and burn does have a useful application.

He was a funny car driver, right? I saw the pics not too long ago. Damn. My thoughts and prayers go out to his loved ones.

It seems like this last year and a half, we have lost more racers than usual, and have had more instances of cars bursting into flames. True? Just seems like it...

Sad. Connie was one of my idols when I was a kid, sure it's killing him to have to bury his son. Used to spend some long, hot, smelly afternoons in Englishtown watching those guys tear it up. Nothing like it.
