Default lost a good friend today

A very good friend of mine past away today. He was found in his bed this morning. He was known on here as Nitrous_Junkie_SVT. His real name was Landon Leonard. He will be badly missed by a lot of people. He has been trying to get his car ready for pinks all out next week. He was still lacking a few parts. Hope fully we can get it together in time to race it in his memory. Then his parents will be able to sell it if they wish to help pay some of the funeral bills. Our hopes and prayers are out to his family.

I didn't know him, but I saw him post on here frequently. That is very shocking and I'm sorry to hear it. Do you know what happened? How old was he? My thoughts and prayers go to his family and friends.

Sorry to hear that man. My prayers are with you and his family. I think it's a great thing you guys are doing by getting his car ready and racing for him in the Pinks All Out. I hope to see the car on the show this fall. Good luck.
