It is with heavy hearts that we mark
the passing of Kendall Hebert.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Kendall's
family at this most difficult time. Kendall
was very well known in the racing circuit
and it is a terrible tragedy to lose someone
so full of life and so young. We know she
will be missed by many.
