damn...I'm at a complete loss. So sorry to hear about this happening to anyone, but it's that much harder when it's a drag racer. God's Speed Eric, you'll be greatly missed

Eric - may your heart and soul carry you
let the rest of us worship the life you spent

no morning of nitro will ever be the same
Medlen drove a race car and thats a fact
his body will join race car drivers before him
his legacy will live forever in our grandstands

<U>...</U>

I'm sure he's not giving you the thumb down, he just hit the reply after your post.

Very sad to lose another racer at a yound age, at least he went doing what he loved.

True enough... but still sucks, and it doesnt happen very often.

But always a risk with fuel cars. And im sure Eric, and all the other drivers relize this everytime the suit up and get into the car. It just sucks.

He died doing what he loved to do...
