    A tragic day

    Just wanted to post this up for a very dear friend of my family. He was a fellow racer as many of you have seen. He was the owner of the beautiful Black 71' SS chevelle w/ a vortech charger. He was also the owner of an Orange 2008 SRT8 Challenger.

    He was my fathers very best friend. If i could have two fathers he would be my second. Words cant describe how good of a person he was. He passed tragically this morning, leaving a wife, twin daughters, and a son (a great friend of mine). If you could all say a prayer for his family it would be greatly appreciated. Ill try to dig up some photos of his cars.
