    Unhappy Part of the job I hate

    Non-IndyCar followers: THIS ( Incredible picture of the crash, and that shows just one of t... on Twitpic ) is what I'm tweeting about. Bear with me in my shock.
    I know most of the field, BBQ @ the motor home with some, followed their careers, the paddock is a family where the kids, husbands, fathers, sons and daughters put their lives on the line every race.
    Pray for Dan Wheldon and his family.

    Heartfelt sympathy goes out the Wheldon Family.
    Was really relieved when my brother called me back and said he was shooting the front stretch at that point of the race.

    Itīs been a bad day, knowing our man Plowey looked up to him, raced with him, and lived and laughed with him. If weīd known Dan more, been closer to him, Angie would be totally distraught. I know a little more why Martinīs parents find it so hard to watch him race.

    Itīs strange comparing our feelings over the years:
    Roland Ratzenberger, Monza, same weekend as Arton Senna - who else remembers his debut?
    Ayrton Senna, we watched his crash live on TV, before we ever went to a race.
    Henry Surtees, an up and coming young talent we knew and had met, with his Father, several times.
    Dan Wheldon, successful, wonderful young man, looking forward to a season with him and Plowey next year.

    The closer we get to the drivers, the more it hurts, even though weīre barely in the outermost circle of the Indy paddock family.
