FIRST PERSON/OPINION

Via e-mail:

I wanted to extend my condolences to the Adams family. Dr. Adams was a great man and was a tremendous help to me in my racing. I began my racing career by training as Dr. Adams had suggested in a Roadracing World article and stopped him one day at the track to thank him for his advice. Dr. Adams and I spoke often at the track after that. When I got heat exhaustion during a race Dr. Adams began to counsel me on managing my heat problems. His help was invaluable.

I’ll miss Dr. Adams’ big smile at the track and seeing the joy he took in Justin’s accomplishments. I’ll miss his enthusiasm for life and commitment to change the mindset toward safety in motorcycling.

I’ll just miss him.
