Tragedy Strikes at Summit Point

[BRothrock]

No words can express the emotions and loss being experienced by Alex's family, his friends, those involved in the incident and the racing community.  My deepest condolences to Alex's family and all involved; you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Tough day...nothing I can say to express the sorrow my family and I feel for your family at this time of loss...My family will light a candle and say a prayer in Alex's honor this week in church...
I never met Alex, but have been reading all the posts left by friends, coaches and fellow competitors about him, and all I can say is he was one heck of a kid, you should be proud of what he accomplished in life with the short time he had, many of us would hope to touch half the people your son has in a lifetime...
God bless you Alex...

There are going to be those who will point the finger of accusation towards Bruce and all of us, proclaiming, "senseless death from a foolish hobby".  But as we knelt in turn 3, I began to realize, these tracks we grid upon are sacred ground.  There is nothing foolish or trite about a father, investing his love, time and resources into an adventure with his son.  And there is no comparison to a hobby of collectibles or tossing a ball around, with the intensity, passion and fullness of life we experience in our racing family.  In fact roadracing is not about speed, it is about defining the greatest challenges faced by men, and actually applying those definitions to our lives.  Fear, courage, respect, sacrifice, victory, defeat, pain, suffering...Alex understood these, and because of his fathers love, was able to abundantly live these.  Make no mistake, this indeed is a tragedy, but it is from a choice to live and experience life in a way that will never come to the masses that define life in terms of age, money, and possessions.  It is not without great honor, much love, and deepest respect.  The loss of a Son is the cornerstone of my faith, and as much as God watched His only Son die on a cross, Alex has eternal life.  You are a good Father Bruce, peace and healing to your family, and courage for all of us to press on, and never forget.

I was in the CCS 125Gp race. I did not restart the race. I know several others who also chose not to restart also. We did race the USGPRU race, I had tears in my eyes when I went through turn 3 on the warm up lap.

Always got A smile on my face seeing the school bus on the back of his leathers.

RIP Alex.
