That has got to be the understatement of the year. Been there, done that, hated it! It almost consumed me to the point where I couldn't go on. Luckily some sage words from a close friend and my family saved me from that demise...

God rest Craig Jones and save Andrew Pitt...

After Norick Abe getting killed on the street by a U-turner, I figure it's all a crap shoot, regardless.

This sucks. I was really enjoying watching him ride this year. Speed replayed the last race instead of Brands so I didn't see it but I hope Pitt comes out ok. God bless all involved :'(

Obviously I have no idea but I would think it would honor Craig more to watch his last race where he was fighting for the lead.

tis true.  it's tragic to watch it and know it's coming, but he was riding his butt off up to that point.  as usual.

The Brno race was incredible!! Then he had a mechanical that robbed him from possibly his 1st win. IMO Jones was one of the most exciting guys to watch, gettin' it sideways & shit. This just sucks more the more I think about it. I wonder what Donnington is going to be like. 1st race back for the series and in his home country :'(
