It was uncalled for. Sorry for my rant, but some fan have no respect. Thank you safty crew for doing your best.

Something related to this that nearly made me sick was a "fan" and his very young son (I'd say 7-10 years old)... With the walkway being right in front of our seats in turn 1, the "fan:censor:" decided to stop and point out the accident to his son.

He thought I was an ass**** for telling him to move on and stop telling his son to "look, look".

What is wrong with some people? :confused:


My prayers go out to the friends, family, Anderson staff, and everyone else envolved.

May God be with the family of Mr. Hiatt and may He also be with his soul. RIP:crying: And may the driver involved find comfort in the fact that it was an accident.

I wanted to pass along some information to everyone. In the Anderson Herald-Bulletin today was the obituary for Roy Hiatt who was killed Saturday night during the Little 500. The last line said "in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the funeral home to help with funeral expenses". With the generosity of race fans, I thought maybe some folks might want to contribute. I am sure that any amount will help. Here is the address.

Brown-Butz-Diedring Funeral Home
515 East 53rd Street
Anderson, IN 46013
765-644-6658

Be nice to people on the way up. You might need them on the way down. Jimmy Durante

Roy will be missed. His legacy will go on, every time a safety worker sees his final resting spot there in turn four, they will think about him, and be reminded that this is a dangerous sport. I pray for safety and comfort for Roy's family all for all the Anderson Speedway family.
