My wife heard about this on the radio today and they were saying these are $300k cars-whatever.

Open face helmet and a 5 point

Please, keep these two and their families in your prayers.

Terrible news. I couldn't believe it when I found out it was Andre. Please let him know he and his family, as well as the Krusemark family are in our prayers.

Very sad to hear this. I read that is was Texas Driving Experience. Isn't that Don Barnes' outfit?

Unconfirmed reports tell me that DB went back to Atlanta a few months ago.

He was deeply involved with Panoz for years.

Good news -- thanks.

Any word on what his injuries were and what the prognosis is?

Could a mod please move this thread to a forum that is hidden unless logged in. Apparently there has been some snooping going on by investigators.
