My heart goes out to his dad and the rest of the family. As Robin Miller pointed out on Wind Tunnel last night, John went his whole racing career - on two wheels and four - without serious injury, then this happens. Sad.
he went the way every true Jalop would love to go... doing something he loved behind the wheel at a high speed!
may his soul rest in peace, & our regards go out to his family... & in memory, 21 exhaust backfires will be shot in his service from the back of a revving el camino!

This is always tragic and sad news. Especially to the family, whether it has racing legends in it or not. However, it is, in a way, better that he died pursuing his dreams and doing something he loved doing.
I would rather go out on a race track than be hit by a drunk driver on my commute to work.
Don't forget that it's Nick Heidfeld who holds the record for having the most number of points without ever winning a race. If Maak Webba wins a race this season, Nick will hold on to that record for many more years.

Hey, I used to collect stamps as a kid too! All the cool kids did it. The losers went out and played JV football and tried to score with cheerleaders in their jacked-up pickup trucks. (And I'm from Massachusetts.)
My favorite stamps always came from obscure-assed little islands that were awesome enough to put old Peugeots on their stamps, like this:
