UPDATED Report
Dave Cole was quoted while he was eating breakfast today, "that's the reason I'm getting out of events stuff, people die in off-road racing events, I'm smarter than this".
Yea, you know it all Dave. How was your jail time in San Felipe?
Speed Sport News has confirmed Zandy's manner of death at Crandon International Raceway, run by Marty Fiolka.
SSN has confirmed parts of the track were totally fucked up, so the death wasn't unexpected.
An AP reporter onsite delivered this sobering news to the local rags this morning-
"at the incident site, a guy was waving his hands in the dark, lit up by the headlights, then Campbell slams on the brakes. The
guy waving down Wayland was just trying to communicate the red flag
situation when the guy behind Wayland didn't get the message and charged up
the rocks.
The 4400 car driving full speed, drove directly into Zandy's cage, killing him.
The impact killed the driver in the 4400 car.
[First report is brain injuries and broken neck]
A fire truck from the back 40 was brought to the main track and then all the U4 cars approaching the rocks just shut off their engines and lights. There were still a lot of emergency vehicles at the incident location that appeared to be just after the gravel pit turn. Crandon International Raceway event staff red flagged the 4400 race and said they are done racing for the night."
Original Report
Message from Jason Robinett, Ultra4 USA owner to BajaRacingNews.com:
"The sun came up and reality set in on the tragic events that unfolded yesterday evening. By now most have heard Zandy Willems has passed doing exactly what he loved".
Sure Jason, did you ask him?

He died on the last roll. There was 6 crashes on the first lap including these 2 he was the last to be looked at before the race was called off for the night
