Even without seeing it everyone there had a bad feeling, although I don't think they announced anything until the race was over. Greg Moore was one of those guys that everyone liked. A good, honest, and talented racer. Left an empty feeling. Thanks for posting.

Wow--you were right there. Must have been horrible.
I remember that like it was yesterday. Was watching the race with my wife, and we both knew he was dead as soon as we saw the impact. I had just seen him at the race at Portland earlier that season. A wonderful kid with endless talent, gone too soon. CART--Team Penske, in fact--also lost Gonzalo that year at Laguna Seca. I think he was filling in for Little Al who was having his personal troubles, IIRC.
Crashing sucks.
