Horrible news :(
Very sad.. Second time I have had to say RIP this weekend.. Let us not forget Dan Wheldon. Thoughts and prayers are with both of these mens families.. Godspeed, gentlemen.
30 yrs old dead in vegas hpoe its not drugs, but wont be shocked!
This was really a s--ty weekend for motorsports, Dan Wheldon, Rick Husseman, and now Nick. Really, really tragic...
Seriously?!?! What's the deal? You're right Harry - what a seriously crappy weekend for motorsports! My thoughts are with the families and friends during these difficult times....
Wasnt that crappy for RV. Unless he lost it gambling ofcourse. anyways sad to hear of the guys passing. F1 coming to an end but man Sebastien Vettel killed them this yr. He is the next Michael Schumacher.
In F1 it's 99% car and 1% driver, and there's less passing in F1 than there was in the Monster Cup. Having said that, I still like to watch F1...awesome cars!
I am a friend of Nick's and live in Coral Springs FL, he has been to my house several times to help me with my bike......If anyone has any news please call me direct
