The dragracing community lost a true hero in 2006. Svein “Gotten” Gottenberg was killed in an accident at Mosten Raceday in Denmark. A few years earlier (in Finland) Gotten's engine exploded and the front cylinder blew off, tearing the whole front end from the bike, midways down the strip. An accident he walked away from! At Santa pod UK in 2005 the same thing happened again, but then the frame did not crack in half. Anyway as you can se from the pictures, parts where flying near Gotten pulling his left hand away from the handlebars. A year later he crashed at Mosten and this time he didn’t walk away from it… R.I.P. (The amazing pictures where taken by Stefan Boman)
