Most everyone knew of Dave and his work for years. I met Dave at Maxton in June while he was tuning Charlie to 250+ MPH runs. We spoke several times for only a few minutes at a time over the weekend.
While Dave was at Speedweek with Jason I spent quite some time with Dave as we were in impound a few times and Jason lives there during the events. Dave spoke about the sense of family and how the proudest moment of his life was when Josh threw his leg over the bike and entered the Maxton 2 Club. I know it sounds too easy to be true but I just spoke to someone closer to Dave and he mentioned Dave said the same thing.
It has been a tough year for LSR, both two and four wheeled competitors.
It is truly a sad day. Hang in there Josh, our prayers go out to you and your family.
