:cry:

Kevin 09-15-2007 06:24 PM

Travis must feel like a dick.

guesswho 09-15-2007 06:28 PM

Just saw this on NASIOC, very saddened by his death. First Burns, now McRae, my thoughts and prayers go out to to both familes who lost people in the crash. RIP McRae, the best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be.

Nick 95 6sp 09-15-2007 06:56 PM

My sincere condolences to his family. He was awesome.

gpzjack 09-15-2007 06:59 PM

sad ...very sad

Cardriverx 09-15-2007 07:16 PM

ah no! dude what the hell.. he made x games rally so awesome. RIP

the mike 09-15-2007 07:19 PM

I feel about this how NASCAR fans felt about Dale. A black day in the WRC, and in racing in general.

Kevin 09-15-2007 07:24 PM

Yea dude thats terrible. F*ck air transportation.

RayArroyo 09-15-2007 07:59 PM

:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

oh no

Jeffros Spec V 09-15-2007 08:09 PM

Damn that sucks.

Renegade_ 09-15-2007 08:11 PM

****.

Uberu 09-15-2007 08:23 PM

****, Mcrae was the absolute man. Lots of these smaller aircraft have killed their pilots (such as that yankee's pitcher who's name escapes me). Man, i'm actually really bummed about this

Spocknasty 09-15-2007 09:06 PM

No way....I'm in shock.

TurboTagTeam 09-15-2007 09:20 PM

Holy ****. That really sucks. He was an AWESOME driver. Pretty crazy that he participated in the most dangerous motorsport in the world, but then died in a helicopter crash.

Really sucks. WRC wont be the same.

Dave 09-15-2007 09:39 PM

man...

Cory Lidle, played on the Phillies for 2 years.

Jesus.. this is terrible.. I was hoping it was fake at first. -sigh- We really lost a true pioneer in the subaru/wrc community.

SleeperGoat 09-16-2007 12:54 AM

wow thats freaking horriable, prayers go out to his family.

Well put, mike, well put.

I'm honestly a bit in shock, too. Truly sad.

Buster 09-16-2007 02:07 AM

I thought it was gonna be bull****! Thats really a shame.

Indeed, very strange irony.

Almost seems like some kind of curse… very sad.

doug 09-16-2007 09:13 AM

Rather than Dale Earnhardt, it's more like Davey Allison.. the nascar star who died in the 90's in a helicopter crash.

the mike 09-16-2007 11:58 AM

I just meant from a popularity standpoint. He was the face of the WRC for a while, here in the states. I still have all the McRae games for my xbox.

Kevin 09-16-2007 12:50 PM

Thank god it didn't happen in the states though. Cuz you know we get blamed for everything.

OptiCon 09-16-2007 02:19 PM

Most invincible rally drive I've ever seen dies in a ****ing helicopter crash.

It's like Steve Irwin all over again.

4 Real.....WTF

Vypurr 09-16-2007 09:14 PM

Man oh man. I just saw an article on this. I am in shock. I kinda feel like I know him? I have logged hundreds of hours in the car with him...Mostly watchin through his onboard camera! Damn!

SovXietday 09-16-2007 09:55 PM

Why does everyone with a lot of money have to try and fly their own things?

Such a terrible tragedy...

Dude, if I could afford a helicopter I'd definitely try to fly it. :wink:

Sad day. :cry:

Honestly.. I'm sure what he did on the rally courses was much more dangerous.
