    I got some bad news when I was at Barber Sat which really put a damper on the weekend...Garth Tagge and Jim Melly both passed this weekend on the Potomac during some speed trials..I actually think Jim was a WERA or CCS Racer with SV's back in the 90's .. Jim (Garths Mechanic) was always asking about my bikes when I saw him as well as Garth the boat owner.They both were great guys and Garth was my daughters boyfriends Dad...I had the Privilege of getting a ride on this boat last year.. Just an amazing experience... But also spending a lot of good times with both on and off the Lake.. His son and his Mom need some serious thoughts and prayers... It actually made National news and they were trying to hit 200Mph and were both ejected when the boat flipped @ 197 through the trap.. CPR on both to no avail... RIP guys... I will miss you both... God speed....

    My prayers go to all effected by this tragedy
    We sometimes forget our playing can come at a high cost.

    Seen a story about this on another site. Sad. :(

    What got me was how crass some of the commenters were.

    Hey Marc,
    This kind of news is never good. I'll be praying for you, your daughter, and the family. Loss like this is painful.

    Yeah its all over the place now.... I saw it once Sat PM after it happened and it was enough... There are some really rude and crude comments people are putting up... Some people have no respect at all and are just Clueless....
