Ian Prout of SCDA passed away
Ian Prout passed away. He was the President of SCDA, a major Northeast DE outfit with a focus on LRP. I only ran with SCDA twice quite some time ago. I remember it being a family run organization with an extremely welcoming tone. I know that SCDA is still a very popular group in these parts no doubt due to the enthusiast family behind the events.
RIP.

Really terrible news. I knew Ian & Co. before I got into DE, ran my first ever event with SCDA, and have always enjoyed their LRP events. Major loss in the NE DE scene. He will be missed by many.

Omg. So sorry and prayers to his family. Ian was a remarkable (young) man, and truly committed to the craft we all love so much. R.I.P.

I can't believe it. Been running with SCDA at the Glen the last couple of years and really enjoyed it. Didn't know him well but he, his wife, and Elivan were always very accessible and helpful. RIP.

Stunning loss. I heard the news on facebook last night and was speechless. Such a nice guy, and a great talent. Condolences to Ian's family and to his SCDA partner Elivan.

I am shocked. I always looked forward to visiting LRP because I knew Ian would be there to share some knowledge. He will be missed.
RIP Ian

This came as a shock, though I hadn't been to an SCDA event in years.
Ian, his Dad, and the entire family gave the racing and DE community so much.
My older son attended their teen age driver program, and I was grateful they offered it. All newer drivers should attend.
RIP and condolences to his loved ones.
