This is very sad news for those of us that were frends with Bob may him and JT RIP. Sending out a prayer for his famley with a tear in my eye Bob will be missed at the lake.

RIP, my heart felt prayers go out to the families and friends. Its a horrible day in the offshore world today.

Sincere thoughts to all family & friends. RIP Race Boys. Tracy

RIP truly a sad day

For the first time in my life, I'm speechless. RIP

Please don't take the race continuing after the crash as any sign of lack of concern or disrespect. Racers are on the course with full confidence that the safety crews have their back....will be there quick....with a good result. If the "crash site" doesn't interfere with a clean line for the other boats, then the race goes on. The racers know this. The chopper pilots are instructed to hover in a manner that warns oncoming racers that there has been an incident. Many, many, many times, horrific accidents have ended with better results......just not so today. Sad...

Race in peace Bob and Jeff.
