To the FFR community,

Today is Patriots Day in Massachusetts. I went into work, but Denise took the kids into Boston to watch the Boston Marathon. By now, few are unaware of the carnage that happened with bombs exploding near the finish line and at least two people dead and many wounded. Denise and the kids are fine and at this time we don't know anyone in the FFR community who was hurt. Prayers for the injured and dead, merciless retribution to the cowards who did this, and sadness for all humans.

I ran the Marathon in 2001 to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and for kids with CF. To attack this event that is such a beautiful testament to the human spirit is evil beyond ANY comprehension. On behalf of all of us here at Factory Five Racing, I send out our saddest, most heartfelt condolences to all affected.

David Smith
President

Well said Dave, so glad your family is OK. Some close friends of ours were running it and we just heard back from them. Thank god. Who would do such a thing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you guys out here in California. Let's hope this is the last of it.
