I was at the race when it happened. We were sitting with Charlie Kimball's family. We all knew it wasn't going to end well when they fired up the medivac helicopter so soon after. The 5 lap tribute after they announced his death was extremely emotional.
I was never really a fan of his, but he always seemed like a genuinely nice guy. It was obvious by all the body language of all the drivers before they announced what had happened that something bad was about to be announced.
Just seems like a bad idea having that many cars at that track.
