That is tragic.

Godspeed Hazell :rip

Condolences to her family, the WERA turnworker family, friends and others affected by her loss.

Oh man. How horrible.

I read about this yesterday... for some reason it hit me harder than hearing about fellow riders/racers being killed. We rarely think about the risks that track workers are exposed to so that we can be out there having fun.

Well said, it's easy to take what they do for granted.

Thank you Hazel, Godspeed! :rose

Ditto! :rip Hazel :rose

Most don't realize turnworkers are typically volunteers to do a dangerous job, FOR YOU! Most because for whatever reason they can't race. I been there, done that. She's almost a 20 year vet? Wow.

:rose prayers f/her & family....
