Just heard a plane crashed into the patriot course.  TOBC owner was the pilot? Prayers for the family.

Sad day. :(

Jon Couch had a lot of friends in the racing/track day world. Remember those left behind in your prayers.

SO I have been sitting up all night trying to in some way make sense of all this. Jon's passion for this sport and generosity are unmatched. His mom Francis was just that mom. Mom to an entire paddock of racers and crew. Always felt welcome in their paddock. There is not much more I can say guess I am still in shock at this loss.

What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.
Albert Pike

Jon and Francis did so much for others they will always be with us.

God Speed thoughts and prayers

    A very sobering time for TOBC Racing ....   I never met Mr. Jon Couch , but what I do
know & have seen , he could see the greatness in aspiring young riders and did everything
he could to help fulfill these young men's dream.

  The Paddock has lost a very kind & generous man , taken way before his time .....
  God bless you Mr.Couch & your Mom for all you have done.
