Sad that this happened at a track I spent a lot of time at, and made passes at in the 70's/80's...
RIP Lamont! You the man...

Never good loosing someone but there is a certain risk we are all aware of when racing. Like someone else said, at least he was doing what he loved. A million worse ways to go. RIP
Nowhere to go,but prayers sent to the family. Damn it..

...HE died HAPPY, may he RIP!!!!!!!
That is all I ever want to do, is die, happy, and this here is how we all have to look at it in this sense of our "hobby" of auto's he was doing exactly what he loved, sure it took him, but he died with a smile on his face I bet!

That is a sad story.. I wonder if he was using the factory belts or race belts and what failed. Or did he even have a belt on?

Our local track in Milan Michigan requires a belt. If no belt at gate inspection no racing.

our track does also but what if he did not put it on or what if it was just a lap belt?

Sounds like this guy was a long time serious racer. I doubt very seriously he made a pass without the proper harness on. Sometimes things just happen.
Yes, I agree. Lets leave the investigation to the professionals that are looking into the matter.... That is better than suggesting that it could have been negligence on his part... Sad story and the best going forward to his family and friends...
