Default R.I.P Ryan "Buick" McLaughlin

Just in case there's anyone on here who didn't get the scores of Myspace bulletins... Buick died Sunday night when his boat trailer jacknifed on I-4 and flipped his truck over.
He hadn't been around the track lately, but some of you old timers remember he was one of the original LS1 crew, with an 11 sec Z28 back in '01.
Funeral services are Thursday @ 1pm in Melbourne @ Beach funeral home on Wickham Rd. Thursday would be his 25th Birthday.

Sad for sure, one of the first friends I met when I moved here 9+ yrs ago. I will be out there tomorrow. I will also post up some pics of his old Z tonight. There is a MySpace blog, but I am blocked at work.

Nah, he sold his LS1 in 03 or 04. He's been into trucks and fishing lately.
