Doug McRobie crash at Hebron

[Eddie Arnold Jr.]

This really hits me hard ,,,and I've just now bought myself up to the point of being able to post .

Doug and his buddy Rob ,,, saved me a pit spot next to Doug and Finney this weekend ,,,,
Dough is one of the folks that has always showed me true friendship and family treatment since I've been attempting to run this 90 style of racing ,,,,,,

When I left Trails yesterday , Doug's trailer was the last one I was in before heading home and the last person , I siad this is your race ,,man I can feel it , you are going to win !!!

His family , Dad , Mom , Wife and Son have always came by stoped over just to say hello and see how
I was doing ,,,,, His smile and freindship , and caring will greatly be missed by all that knew him ,,,,

I'm still strugling with this whole thing and attempting to understand why Doug ,,, Why not Eddie ??
I love racing but it will not be the same for me without Doug's smiling face .

God Speed my Friend !

I never got to meet Doug, But it still affects us all!
Hearing the good things about him on here tells me he is one of the good guys!

My thoughts and prayers are with Doug and his family at this time.
God Speed Doug

I agree with scuba.... grab your family and friends and let them know how you care for them.

Tonight was the first night in a long time that I hugged my son and told him how much I loved him, and how proud I am of him.The loss of a close friend makes you realize how important familyand friends are. I always take for granted that they will be there, and that they know how I feel about them. It takes a terrible tragedy like this one to make you realize that you may not have that opportunity to tell or show them.

Arrangents have been made, and can be viewed at:

For those unable to attend, there is an online guestbook that will allow you to express your condolences.

There is also an account that has been set up for the family. Once I have the details, I will post them on here.

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
