dave mcpherson died in a single car accident at nhis bmwcca club race this weekend. he drives a jp 93 325is. i knew him and raced against him many times, we both raced in the same class.
we do de's and club racing for fun, but keep in mind the conseqeunces of things that happen at the track. this is a dangerous addiction we have, in more ways than one.

Club Handling of this situation
I, for one, am not pleased with the secrecy regarding this incident. I feel like a shareholder in a company that is at risk for a death, and none of my company's staff is willing to be open with me as the investigation continues.
I have had a couple of e-mail messages back and forth with Louis Goldsman, those messages suggesting that information will be released if it will help prevent a reoccurence of this unfortunate death.
For me, that is not enough. I want to know who is responsible or if not a "who" then what system or system failure caused this death. I want to know how much economic danger the club is in. I want to know how much risk non-racers are assuming to permit those club members who wish to to race. I want to be able to evaluate the club leadership's handling of this matter and I can't do that if they are spoon feeding me pablum of their choice.
