Default RIP Brad aka FastGoat
Well I have to start this somewhere... I just heard from Brad's sister that he has passed away.

She is going release the car to us to help her sell it. The asking price is still not yet set in stone but I just wanted to make you guys aware. Brad enjoyed the last dyno day and that was when most of you got to meet him.

I'll keep the thread up to day with what is going on and any other information I might come across.

Nick

(updates will be on our forum for the most part)

No way? wow, life is something... Can I ask what happened? I wish the best to his sister and family. Stuff like this is so hard to understand, see a guy one day and gone the next.

I agree, this really sucks. He was a great car guy. Always looking for the next cool upgrade. He was to show up Monday morning so we could install his new rpm close ratio transmission. He was so looking forward to it. He's like most of our customers. I met him by chance and he had a issue with the tune on his GTO. We fixed him and he wanted more and more.
Were not sure what happened but will pass on information as it comes to us.

Condolences to his family sounded like a good guy though I never got a chance to meet him.

Wow...just Wow. He really did seem like a nice guy. His car was easily the fastest GTO around here, and we never even got to see him run it at the track! I hope his family is taken care of. Keep us informed, please.

DAMN! I knew his car and the problems he had with it long before I actually met him. I am Glad he found you guys a TT and got it all straightened out.

He was a very nice guy it is hard to believe he is gone.

That is correct. Brad's car has been on the dyno longer then that entire day of dynoing we did that day! Brad just wanted to be able to meet everyone that he has been talking to through text (message boards mainly).

Is there a memorial fund for him? We always hate to hear when a fellow car guy passes away. Our condolence to his family and friends.
