One of our friends and fellow road racers was killed in an accident at Mototown USA on Thursday. I don't know much on the details, it's still under investigation. Here's the story:Journal Inquirer - Darien man dies after crash in first fatality at Mototown USA in Windsor

Nah, he was #844. He rode an Aprilia RS250 and a motard.

that's definitely a damn shame.

I've been contemplating getting a neck pad type of thing for MX... wonder if something like that woulda helped.

Damn... I didn't know he was a roadracer...

That article has conflicting info, which isn't surprising from the mainstream media and a motorcycle accident. Not to mention the Obituiary says he was in a 'motorcycle race' at the time of the incident, which is wrong.

I was there Friday morning and I know many people that were there Thursday night. Joe suffered a heart attack and the autopsy cofirmed no broken bones. Eyewitnesses (that I've spoken to) say he hit a lil bump, get a bit outta shape (nothing crazy) then when he straightened up he just sorta 'fell over' and that was that shortly there-after.

Hey like any story the information gets muddled, my sources are very very credible thou so take it for what it's worth. Just read on another forum that it was a puntured lung at he passed at the hospital.


Bottom Line
---------------------
Very sad and RIP Joe I'm glad he at least went out doing what he loved.
