    Two racer died Sunday. Collided on the straight. Not Superbike competitors, but a support event. A shame, but how in the world do you run into someone on the straight on a bike?

    Standing start and after they got up to about the bridge, one of the bikes slowed and was hit from behind. Rider knocked off and was run over by another bike. Not sure how the second rider was killed, but there were a number of bike involved just passed the bridge on riders right.

    Instagram has a posting, but you cant tell a whole lot about what happened...

    Cory Call was behind one of them, and ran him over. Couldn't avoid him. Cory isn't doing well after this. (He rode for me in an endurance race a while back, a very good guy).
