You got it Bob. 

My thoughts and prayers go out to Stan and his family. I enjoyed the 
interviews that he gave prior to the race and his subsequent crash. He 
seemed considered and well spoken, and if you can tell that kind of thing 
from an interview, a damn nice guy. 

Racing is inherantly dangerous, as witnessed by so many bright stars that 
have suffered from a split second of disaster. 

Thanks for the post, Bob.

Regards, Jack
