Really shocked & saddened
Austin was a real force within the 3 wheeler racing community and an advocate for the M3W/5 speeder (even with its problem child issues) when others wanted to see its demise within the MTWC he raced it & proved it.
He pushed the car at times to its max and broke it on several occasions and his exploits were often highlighted on the forum, the club magazine & Facebook.
