 My deepest sympathy's go out to the family of Dan Arnold, rider #72.

He crashed at Hemonds on Saturday, June 14th, which resulted in his death on Sunday. I have been looking for any postings letting us know where we can send cards, if there will be a funeral open to the public, if Hemonds was taking donations to go towards the funeral etc....If anyone knows anything could you please post.

From what I have heard it was one of those "just landed the wrong way" type accidents.  Not one of those Doug Henry type of accidents.  We in the Factory Five Racing Cobra community just also lost a good friend that resides on the West coast in another strange incident.  He loaded his 130lb crossbow, raised to fire it and the crossbow blew apart!  Not missfired, but just broke apart into many pieces!  Killed him instantly.  Left a 18 month and a 6 year old daughter.  Thinking of Tim Russert, sometimes you have to believe that someone upstairs just calls your number and hopefully it's for a better cause.

as a mom of a son who races I know in the back of my mind this could occur, but I am usually worried when he falls did he break his leg,arm etc...So when something like this happens it really makes you take a step back.

Wow, I'm sorry to hear this horrible news.  I didn't know him personally but I definitely recognize him, I'm assuming from racing NESC and Southwick.  I can't believe there was nothing on the local news or in the newspapers about this.  It really bothers me.

i think they(family) wanted to keep it low key. isnt it funny that when you want to find something in the news, you cant. its all gas prices and iraq. never anything that happens around here.
