I've been here helping a team make their runs. Yesterday I witnessed the tragedy of Chris Raschke crashing Speed Demon III, and passing away from his injuries. I met him years ago when George Poteet (RIP) was driving the first two Speed Demons. George was nice to everyone in my experience, even those competing against him in the same class. Chris was someone I met briefly, but he was also clearly a good guy.
Racing is dangerous. Chris knew all too well the dangers involved. He died doing what he loved. I can think of no better way to go. My condolences to his loved ones.
Godspeed Chris Raschke.
