Guys I have some very bad news. Cale was severely injurred yesterday during the second time trial session at Summit Point Raceway. He's suffered many internal injuries but the most severe was a serious brain injury similar to what happened to Dale Earnhardt. Before we left the hospital last night at 2am the doctor said there was no brain activity and was recommending the removal of life support. Cale's family is there and will make the decision. His family and his girlfriend asked me to make this post to let his car buddies know what's going on.

His car went off Summit Main's turn 1, tracked to the left and struck a bare concrete wall near the skid pad entrance. No one knows what happened but most suspect some form of brake failure.

It's so tragic that something like this had to happen to Cale. My first thought was "why Cale, it should have been anyone but Cale." When I think about Cale I see that smile. That schoolboy grin with just a hint of devilishness. I can't help but smile when I think of him, even now, sitting in front of this keyboard I'm smiling. Crap, now I'm crying. We're going to miss him so much. I have a lot more to say about Cale, but this is all I can muster for now.



God Bless you Cale,

Brenda and I send our love,

Rob Robinette

He had (hoping and praying for "has") so much potential, as a man, pilot, and driver. I've been good friends with Cale for the better part of 3 years now and I still am in shock This couldn't of happened to a better person

Why him? and why now?

I am just speechless and thinking of all the times I have interacted with him, just makes me well up over and over again.

Thanks for the post Rob even if it is a very sad thing to have to post. Thoughts and prayers are with Cale, his family and friends. His unselfishness and zest for life are second to none.

I agree, this pretty much sums up my thoughts since it happened.
