What Were You Doing When You Heard About Dale Earnhardt, Sr?

Alright, I know this issue has hit a lot of racing fans really hard. I was fond of number 3 and I found it sad. I was sitting at Applebee's with my friends, when Tami said "Did you know Dale Earnhardt died?" There was a really eerie calmness over our tables (8 combined - we had just gotten done with a dance and were eating dinner), before Zach said jokingly "Tami, you're such a liar." We asked the waiter to turn it to ESPN, and sure enough they were broadcasting replays of the crash, Dale Earnhardt, Jr running from his car to the crash, and showing pictures of some fans in total disbelief. I don't think any of us (who were real race fans) ate one bite. I think the only people who did eat were Tiffany and Karlee, because they didn't really care about sports. I know that when we left, Jeff was comforting me because I had started to cry when my Mom called the cell phone and told me.

Well, later on the news I saw that there had been an accident but didn't say that anyone had died. My mom got a call from my aunt and they were talking about it. My mom heard it on the radio and was so shocked.

Date: 2/19/2001 11:38:00 AM  From Authorid: 12862    I was on USM when I first heard it. Someone in chat
kept asking if it was true. I said I didn't know, but
I hope not. I am to a race fan. This is just awful.
Love,
  
Date: 2/19/2001 11:48:00 AM  From Authorid: 7341    My boyfriend, brother and I were watching the race and the race was almost over...but my brother wanted to watch something else so he turned it....later we were flipping through the channels and we saw on CNN that he had just died...it was so weird....I didn't know the man or anything, but it's always a strange dose of reality when a famous person dies....  
Date: 2/19/2001 2:13:00 PM  From Authorid: 7584    I was walking from my kitchen to my computer room (through the living room, where my stepdad had been watching the race) and the announcer said he had died, but that it hadn't been announced at the race yet. I like car racing, but don't follow it or anything, but it saddened me.

Date: 2/19/2001 11:07:00 PM  From Authorid: 8726    I was here typing on this site and I read a post saying that he died.  
Date: 2/20/2001 11:11:00 AM  From Authorid: 25650    I'm not a racing fan, but that is a tragedy. My heart goes out to his son, and to his friends and family. *rockyhorror*

Date: 2/27/2001 9:26:00 AM  From Authorid: 24845    I was at the emergency room with my children, I saw a wreck on the waiting room tv but I didn't know who was in the wreck I just said "oh, no!" Then they called my name and I had to go see the doctor when I got home my husband told me. I thought that it was a very bad joke. So Sad. My prayers are with the fans and his family.

everything happens in life so quick, right before your eyes, live life to the fullest, be happy, and be healthy. Jeff

Date: 11/21/2001 1:50:00 PM  From Authorid: 35853    I was driving home from the race! I went to it, and the wreck didn't look bad at all! We watched them pull him out of the car, and thought he was moving. I now know that we were wrong!
