Guys, I took down the video because a close friend lost his life in a street race accident last night. I can not participate or condone it any more. Quite frankly I'm a little embarrassed of myself. Thanks for the kind words. RIP Ramon.

We don't know exactly what happened. It could have been some fluid on the street. At the end of the 1/4 at over 120 the car went left into the corner of a building. Tomorrow is guaranteed to no one.

Sorry to hear it Dark SS. I know how you're feeling having lost 6 friends and at least a dozen more riding buddies over the years on motorcycles. Half lost hauling butt, half from random accidents. Shock wears off, loss wears off, but the memories of them stay with you.

One more thing: make sure you go to the funeral and wake. Don't bail out because it makes you feel uncomfortable or any other lame *** excuse you will hear others using. Trust, for yourself, you NEED to show up and show your respects. And show up in your vette and make your buddies show up in there race cars. Don't give a **** if the parents think it's wrong or innapropriate. It's about what HE would have wanted, not the inevitable self delegated political police --- and there is always someone that delegates themselves into that role.

Thanks guys. It's been a rough couple days but the anger has worn off and I find myself smiling more thinking of moments we shared together.

Sorry to hear man. I've seen the thread on TCG and the vette forum and I can't think of how bad this had to have been for you guys. I've only met you and the other guys once or twice but I can tell you guys are all endearing and really look out for each other.

Sorry to hear that. The thing is it could happen any time to any one.

Last year a local crash happened at the end of a exit ramp off the highway. Drunk driver hit a Jeep Cherokee at highway speed, never touched his brakes.....the whole family burned to death. Doesn't mean I'll stop driving. Street racing is always a risk....any racing is a risk.

If your friend love to street race, repost your vid in honor of him.
