Doug McRobie crash at Hebron

[Joe Pinkston]

If any of you Div 3 racers have any news to pass along about S/G racer Doug McRobie's condition, please pass it along here.

I am supposedly distantly related to Doug, but we have never met. His uncle is married to my step-aunt (if that makes any sense), so maybe that makes us 5th cousins 4 times removed, or something like that.

Doug and the McRobie family will be in our prayers. We hope his injuries are minor and his recovery is speedy.

Lets hope for the best. This is the first I heard of this. Please keep us filled in if you hear anything.

We were back by the back gate and they took him out at the end of the track, in an ambulance instead of air care so hope all is well.....................

I was told that he did not survive from several people. I will wait on the official announcement tomorrow but this is very bad news all the way around.

First off all, our deepest sympathies to the Family and Friends. From what I saw from the starting line it looked way less violent than when Ron Erks hit the wall in Gainesville. Same scenario, he hit the brakes at the finish line and the car went away. I wear a HANS device and take some grief for it. That's OK, I wish we all had to wear one. All we can learn from this is that SAFTY matters most. We all love to race, for some of us that's an understatement. However my Family and friends need me, as yours need you. Please buy and wear some type of head and neck restraint. I love most of you, and may God bless all of you. Jeff

A sad, sad day in the racing community. One of the finest people I have ever met. Doug always had a smile on his face and would do any thing for any one.
God speed Doug and thanks for all the wonderful memories you left instilled in out hearts.
Please pray for his wife, son and parents whom are all very special people.
With deep sadness,
Barney & Penny Barnhart
