Sad...just sad to hear something like this. My prayers go out to "Gail" and his family, that they may understand and be at peace with God's purpose for such a tragic event.

I don't know the details of the accident and don't know if he was being irresponsible (though it is the assumption), but what I do know is that we must be careful even moreso on public roads.

Godspeed Luis...

Hey Eugene, my car has been sitting since 2/26. Still not on the damn boat. Hope you have better luck come May.

Chris, not sure if he was even on the boards. I remember TP (Tool Pants) saying something to the effect that Luis had no idea about the thread he was in over on Renntech about his car. He gave his email address to TP so he could check it out. Sadly though, he gave TP the email address Saturday morning.

That's 'cause the yellow one is so damn pretty they don't want to see it go....


Off to MSR this afternoon with Rob and his new 430F1

Hopefully everybody files this in their memory bank and learns from it. I for one don't want to hear about another P-Car "brother" passing away so senselessly. Obviously it will happen again but if the numbers can be decreased by learning from these events then maybe it isn't all in vain.
I'm with you, Dell. While this is very sad, and condolences are in order, it would be all the more tragic if others, me included, don't learn something from this.
