I should have included that this race/class was added to the program as a preview of the proposed/coming (?) Moto3 class...
We, at the race, heard nothing of the accident... It apparently happened at the other end of the track from where we were sitting... We saw none of the emergency response or anything...
We didn't even know there was a problem/tragedy until after we left and were on our way home, listening to the radio.
I understand that Peter and his family were good friends with Collin Edwards and that the news of the young mans passing made its way around the paddock about 90 minutes prior to the start of the GP race.
I know it took a HUGE edge off the good feelings I had after a great weekend of racing and other "events"...
I'm still really bummed about it... and I really feel bad for his family...
