Condolences

Auto racing can sometimes be a cruel sport. We occasionally have to deal with the deaths or serious injuries of drivers, event at the top reaches of the sport. As bad as that can be, it's even more tragic when one of the selfless volunteers who help run the event are killed. Glenn Miller, a long-time member of the Sports Car Club of America was killed this weekend during an event at the Neslon's Ledges road course in Ohio during an SCCA driver's school. A driver lost control of his car, went into the wet grass, and hit Glenn. Workers like Glenn not only work at amateur races for groups like the SCCA or NASA, but also for major professional racing series like the American LeMans Series, Champ Car, and even the Nextel Cup series. I'm sure Glenn would have been at Mid-Ohio this weekend for the ALMS race.

My condolences, as an SCCA member and road race fan, to his wife and children.
