Death at Spectre 341 Hill Climb
reportedly VRAlexander has died going off a 200' cliff during the hill climb. No official confirmation. Very controversial guy who did much to promote the Porsche image in the tuning world

he did more to promote porsche and bring these cars to light than anyone. A great guy in every way.
I'm at the 341 hill climb challenge here in Virginia City, Nevada. Many of you knew him, Amar said Ross raced his silver 996 at the mile last oct, it went 242 later on that weekend.
We made our last pass at 4:37, he rolled up at 4:44, for one last hail Mary pass. He slid off the road, and a engine fire ensued. This track is dangerous, 660' drop off, climbing from 5100' to 6200' elevation.
He didn't make it. That's all I know right now :-/
RIP alex.
I've been posting pics on facebook, should have our incar video up soon.
