According to a link in this post:

My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I did not know Ben, but he shared his enthusiasm for his beautiful Carrera GT with me through his posts, so I feel a kinship with him and this is just so sad. He died in a blaze of glory at 165 mph...... Godbless you Ben,lj.
