The local drag racing community is mourning the loss of one of its own following a tragic accident Saturday night that claimed the life of a Chattanooga man who was working at the Brainerd Optimist Dragway in Ringgold.

53-year-old Johnny Walker, who had worked at the track for 18 years, was run over prior to the start of a race around 7 p.m., and then rushed to Erlanger hospital in Chattanooga.

Walker died the next day after he was taken off of life support by his family.
