Everybody please say a prayer....

I had a race today at a local track. They race the bikes before the quads, so I tried to show up a little early to watch them. When I got to there the gate worker told me they had a bad accident, and we'd probably be starting a little late. Once I got in the park I saw detectives going into the woods with the owner. I asked some people and found out a veteran racer hit a tree pretty hard and was Life Flighted out of there. Somebody I know was in the woods while they were working on him, and said he wasn't breathing and his face was in really bad shape. A short while later I heard the track owner's wife saying that the guy had died. I did not know the guy, but his family will be in my prayers. I'd appreciate it if you guys could say a prayer for them also. He was an older guy so he probably had a family (kids?) that he left behind. Everybody be careful out there. Remember, it's still a dangerous sport so don't take anything for granted.
