Seems like only yesterday, I also remember reading an article in the Backtrack mag from someone who was there that night and their memories a real moving account.

 

RIP Vic.

as a young nine year old then .. being there that night has always been a sad memory of my youth.

witnessing the awful tragic accident unfold right in front of me at the start line area has stuck in my memory through the past 30 years , and comes back to haunt me when i see any other awful accidents in our beloved sport or any other.

The loss of any rider is tragic .. and never forgotten by anyone witnessing it however young or old.

 

gone but never forgotten .

 

RIP Vic
