Author Message   Pwnzor Posted on Sunday, October 16, 2011 - 06:27 pm:        1987 - 2011 Lap 13 was his last, an historic crash brought this Indy 500 Winner to the final checkered flag.   Spikey Posted on Sunday, October 16, 2011 - 06:48 pm:        R.I.P. Dan. Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.   Kenm123t Posted on Sunday, October 16, 2011 - 07:23 pm:        My condolences to his family from all accounts a very good man he will be missed   Scooter808484 Posted on Sunday, October 16, 2011 - 09:36 pm:        Seeing Dan Wheldon come around turn 4 to win this years Indy 500 was one of my favorite memories. Dan will be missed. Thought and prayers are with his family.   Barker Posted on Sunday, October 16, 2011 - 10:45 pm:        This evening my thoughts and prayers are with Dan Wheldon's friends and family. Out of all the racing professionals I have had the opportunity to work with over years he was my favorite by a long shot. I will never forget our helicopter ride over his home and the beaches of St. Pete.   Trojan Posted on Monday, October 17, 2011 - 07:43 am:        A great shame and he will be sadly missed. He was a match for Jenson Button in the lower formaulae and was certainly good enough for F1, if only he could have found the necessary financial backing to get him there. However F1's loss was Indycar's gain.   Hybridmomentspass Posted on Monday, October 17, 2011 - 09:17 am:        Was a bit bummed to hear this news My thoughts go out to his friends and family   Pwnzor Posted on Monday, October 17, 2011 - 11:13 am:        Dan with his wife and kids.   Macbuell Posted on Monday, October 17, 2011 - 02:21 pm:        It just isn't right for kids to lose a parent before they even get to know them. RIP!   86129squids Posted on Monday, October 17, 2011 - 03:06 pm:        What Mac said... Judging from Barker's comments and surely countless others, his kids should have plenty of good "proxies" at least... Godspeed.   Trojan Posted on Tuesday, October 18, 2011 - 06:54 am:        Listening to the continuing coverage of the tragedy this morning on BBC it seems that this may be Indaycar's 'Senna Moment' that will be a catalyst in improving safety for drivers at least. There appears to be quite a lot of well informed people coming forward saying that the 1.5mile was too narrow and there are too many cars on track at high speed with too little room for manoevre. Hopefully this will at least bring forward more safety measures to protect future drivers in the same way that Senna's tragic death did in F1.   Thesmaz Posted on Tuesday, October 18, 2011 - 07:55 am:        Dan was the main guy that was testing the new car for next year, which ironically, has numerous safety improvements. RIP
