Wayne Hosaka's #55X number plate as well as a picture of him in action on his #55X flat track racer adorn the header to this piece that I must regrettably report on today.
The Father of FlatTrack.com, THE motorcycle racing website for anything and everything flat track motorcycle racing-related, passed away yesterday while recovering from surgery near his home in California. The man that had the vision to bring so many people and fans together over 15 years ago will be remembered always to anyone who ever took the time to frequent the message boards and news articles from THE site for all things flat track, FlatTrack.com.
Hos will live on forever in our minds and in our thoughts for having the forethought in the early days of home internet usage to put together a website that today boasts over 7800 members and over 125K posts since it first hit the World Wide Web in 1995. Although he was paralyzed close to 40 years ago in a racing incident, Wayne still held the reins when it came to being in the know on flat track motorcycle racing. His legacy will live on forever through all the fan's eyes at Flat Track.com, on, at and near the track. RIP Hos!
Please note: The picture above was borrowed from a posting on the Flat Track.com website by Dale Lineaweaver. Thanks Dale for such a fitting shot to remember Hos with!
