hanks jeff...........but this happened today!

It is with great sadness that i have to report that David Jeffries has been
pronounced dead at the scene , after a flat out crash this afternoon.
although not offcially announced, i understand he was flat out in top gear 5
miles into a flying lap, after doing a 125mph standing start lap. the engine
gave way and he went into a bus shelter then a lamp post. Jim moodie who was
following has been airlifted to hospital but we understand he is relatively
okay.

practice was redflagged and then cancelled

all our thoughts go to his family, team and supporters

Saw the news elsewhere too, and was deeply saddened to hear it. I saw him do the races there on Speedvision last year, and it was AWESOME. Also, I get Motocourse every year, and read all the stats. Truly amazing. The Isle takes no prisoners, and has claimed a long list of great racers over the years. The world will miss them all. Godspeed, Dave.
