DragonRider Posted October 16, 2011 Author #5 Posted October 16, 2011 I don't usually watch open wheel racing, but as I was flipping through the channels I saw it and was watching when they mentioned it was the last race of the season for the Championship. I saw the accident, and in watching it, saw a few telltale signs that didn't bode well for someone, at the time I didn't know it was Weldon's car that was covered by a yellow tarp along with various parts from it......It had all the signs of being fatal, but I was holding out hope and praying it wasn't fatal. I watched all the coverage till it went off the air, I thought it was fitting that they canceled the race and thought the way they honored Dan was very touching and emotional for all, including my wife and I. Saw that..very sad...
