It was  a bad crash....we saw it on the monitor.  He crashed in the esses and got hit when he was picking up his bike.  My heart really goes out to his family.

I was there, at turn 7 as the red flag came out. I turned to look down the track only to see the dust still rising from the track.
Toriano loved the sport of road racing so he was happy to be there.

You guys may not know that Hayden #69 (winner of VIR Red Bull Cup) lost his younger brother at the age of 10. Please vist www.ethansdream.com and www.racing2savelives.org
