His RL name was "Karlooz" and he raced a 3.4 996. Carlos was way too young to pass at 39 leaving a pregant wife. Great guy, he will be sorely missed.....

RIP. My thoughts and condolences go out to his family and his friends. He was way too young to leave this soon.

Carlos was always happy to help a fellow trackie and he did it with smiles. Just can't believe this is happening. Mike

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's very difficult to lose a close friend.

He was way too young. We were just chatting at Thunderhill a couple weeks ago as he was trying to get the Stohr fixed and lamenting that he would have reduced track time shortly after his wife delivered. It's hard to believe he's gone. A terrible thing for his wife with the expected delivery of the twins so close.

He will be missed.

Crap - I've just seen this

Carlos - we will miss you.

Eric/John - I wont be able to get to the services but please pass on to the family our condolences and shock at the news.

If there is something the Norcal racers are doing in his memory please let me know.

Carlos was an awesome individual. Always and smile, kind word and a warm heart. It's such an unbelievable tragedy. He will be missed.

I read his posts. I am really sorry for your loss as well as Rennlist's loss. One of my best friends just died (of cancer), and it is just terribly difficult.
