Brownstown Cancelled
 

I just showed up at Brownstown to be told the event was cancelled due to "a death investigation"???

Reading on facebool from multiple people a guy hung himself in one of the cattle barns.

heard a man hung himself in cattle barn lastnight

Yep. It's on the 4m website as well. Also heard it was a possible suicide and possible they may have found a woman dead in a camper. Not sure how true this is. Just what I have heard.

I just hope this didn't have anything to do with all the talk about traction control!

I was there Saturday while they were investigating the second death. Real bad deal for the promoter and auto racing in general. These two separate incidents destroyed Brownstown's biggest racing event of the year. That's a bad deal for the promoter.

As for auto racing, it doesn't need black eyes like these. I saw that Mike Miller won the BOSS title, and I saw Kyle Cummins get crowned the MSCS champion. Two finer people you'll never meet. Problem is the media will never mention these two drivers, but they pound the sport of auto racing to death over what happened at Brownstown. Media isn't the friend it once was to auto racing, and this won't help at all.

Do you really think these two incidents are not related? I would have thought there would be some connection to the two....

Re: Brownstown Cancelled
 

As of when I left the track yesterday , I was informed they weren't. It could be different today. That's all I've got to say, I'm not going to feed the rumor mill any more.

Re: Brownstown Cancelled
 

The two incidents are unrelated.

Thats all I can speak of on the matter.

But what an odd coincidence...

Re: Brownstown Cancelled
 

Theres nothing coincidental. A man from indianapolis hangs himself, and hours later, a lady from a completely different town dies of natural causes.

Re: Brownstown Cancelled
 

ALl i was doing was giving out the facts that I know. SOrry

I just thought of it as odd....

Was the gentleman a racer?

Re: Brownstown Cancelled
 

I'll take your facts over someone else's rumor anytime. You have nothing to be sorry about.

Re: Brownstown Cancelled
 

The Gentleman that passed away was Steve Frost Jr. He was a competitor at the Speedrome.

As far as the female that died hours later, I am not privy to the information as to who she was. Im slowly getting information as it comes in.

Re: Brownstown Cancelled
 

Looked through the local newspapers on the internet and as late as this morning there is still no mention of these deaths ? Even looked in the Indianapolis obits and nothing. I understand details being witheld if it's being investigated, but I thought obituaries were public information?
