Thoughts from F2000 driver Ennis Bragg on November 1, 1999
I'm still in shock. I missed the crash but heard Page's comments as
the copter flew away. His words pretty much told the story but for some
reason, I didn't let myself believe it. When the announcment was made on
TV, I hit my knees and couldn't hold back the tears. Sometimes you never
realize how much someone means to you until they're gone. I didn't know
Greg on a personal basis, met him once at Milwaukee. But, as a driver,
I admired him greatly. He was two years younger than me. As he was to
many other drivers in their twenties right now, Greg was an inspiration
to me. He was proof positive that success in this sport was possible
however improbable it may seem sometimes. Talent, determination, positivity,
confidence, class, and a whole lot of whatever you call that stuff that
makes us look at racecar drivers with admiration instead of seeing them as
lunatic madmen too crazy to live a normal life. These are just some of the
things about Greg that we all wish we had a little more of.
To Greg's family and friends: You're in my prayers. Trust in God for
your strength and know that He will comfort you.
To Greg: Thank you. You were truly a great driver.
