The way I remember this, I was more effected by this than when Senna died. I also remember when I passed Greg’s age, I thought on my birthday ‘I’m older than Greg Moore’s ever going to be now’… really hit me hard and what really got to me is just how graphic it was seeing the accident in the way it was seen. It wasn’t like Senna’s at all. With his I didn’t even notice any blood until I watched the tape again a couple of years later, with Greg? He was very obvsiouly a dead body right from the start, but I still remember shouting at the marshalls to get out to him from behind the wall, they just seemed too motionless – so did Greg.

I put a page up on Legends Central then, I remember putting up a few comments from people, I also put a small picture of Greg onto the site which stayed until three redesigns later when I moved to my new servers after sports-gaming.com deleted it all. I don’t know what made me think of it today, sometimes I just remember things like this, either from sad events or from personal experiences. This was one of the saddest events of my life when watching motorsport, but we learn from all of them. I wonder whether we ever become immune? I’ve seen a lot of people bleeding with serious injuries through my last job, I’ve seen countless accidents in all forms of motorsport where the driver is killed – I seem like I have an ability to ignore the hurt now with this, but other things really bother me. One thing is memories of Senna, Ratzenberger, Earnhardt, Petty, Moore and all the rest I’ve seen but their names have slipped away.

What are they now anyway? Names in a record book. Famous children of far away lands which are only remembered by those who lost them. In many ways it is still sad, no matter how much you feel you aren’t effected any more – it still gets you.

I’ve started talking crap, depressing stuff – so I’ll stop.
