Sam Wheeler was killed yesterday at Bonneville.  Sam is a long time cycle racer, record setter

There are test sessions going on.

Not many details released yet on the crash that killed Sam

Terrible, that can cast a pall over everything, I feel bad for his family and friends.

Very sad situation.

I read Sam died in surgery after the crash on the salt.

One of the legends who has been racing since 1963 and died doing what he loved. Rest in peace.
