Yes, they're great events. Unfortunately, yesterday's event was cancelled after the first round when Steve Grebeck's and Bill Rimmer's Pro 5.0 cars collided at near full speed. Steve lost his life in the accident. Though I can't say that I knew Steve on a first name basis, when you see these guys week in and week out, only a few pit spaces away, they all become part of the Fun Ford Family. Steve will be dearly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones, his competitors and the rest of the Ford racing community. We all know its dangerous when we roll out of the waterbox, but it really strikes close to home when something like this happens. Everyone needs to remember that safety comes first when you roll out onto that track. Even with a super-safe car like those in Pro 5.0, the worst can and will happen unless we give the track and sport the respect that it deserves.

God Speed Steve Grebeck.
