I made a couple of comments this week about Eric. My heart broke when research from a fellow Eric fan informed us how he had been doing letting us know how Eric had been doing since his retirement. To hear today that Eric passed away at a very young age. I share my deepest condolences with his wife and kids. I also share my sadness with the rest of his family. Thank you for listening while I rambled on.

@JK-zq9vw 3 года назад

I’ve always wondered if they ever thought about building in a removable driver capsule of sorts. Something that can easily be pulled away from the wreckage and then once completely out can easily open to safely remove a driver. They have something similar in racing boats. Those are even water proof. And isn’t the drivers seat removable in F1 cars to be able to be lifted out of the car?
