PBIR mishaps

Casey Miles · 01-25-2010, 09:34 AM

Sad to say that there has been 2 racers lost their live at PBIR in the past month. Both went off the end of the track do to either lack of experience or throttle issues. Not for sure on either reason, but it is tragic.

Praying for no more of that! Very sad to hear

Not true. Although there was a fatality at the track on January 23, the other crash to which you refer on January 6 did not result in a death.

That is good news............

Their has been a couple people this year already just they were not all at the drag strip

The nine-year-old burned in the go-kart crash on the road course didn't die...and that incident happened Memorial Day, 2009.

On October 11, 2009, Isidro Castillo succumbed to injuries suffered on October 3 during a South Florida Sport Bikes road course event.

Facts, people...FACTS.

Hey Bret thanks for the update.

I was told a young man about 18 wrecked a corvette there a couple of weeks ago when he went off the end of the track. Read a article from a Fla paper about it too but I have never seen a update as to his condition. If its true how is he doing? Last I heard he was in rough shape. God bless them all as we are all too young to go while trying to have fun.

Bret Kepner · 01-25-2010, 11:24 PM

I understand, Sean.

For Rob, here's the link on the condition updates for Casey Bicknell, the driver of the Corvette which crashed on January 6:
