Henry Surtees, the son of former two and four wheel world champion , John died this evening from his injuries sustained whilst racing at Brands Hatch in the second Formula Two race. He was struck on the head by a wheel which had come off another competitors car after it hit the barrier. A very sad day for the Surtees family and British Motorsport.

It's a good day out west. My ticket package for the Monterey Historic Auto Races has arrived. Nothing better than planning a trip to the track. I hope all the west coast members get a chance to see these races. This year will be special with Porsche as the honored marque. Hope to see you there. I'll be the one with the Riverside Raceway Times Gran Prix sweatshirt. Say hi if you see me.

I actually manage my own blog at www.hondapedia.ca - where I write about new car profiles, or special Honda deals, or even about…
