Default PHX:Donation Meet/Drive for Alex Ahmad (Supra Collision) Sunday December 16, 10AM-4PM

I rarely visit this forum but I am going to all of the forum's that I am a member of and posting this. I generally hang out at NASIOC (member #1914). I didn't see this here, but if it is, I apologize. This was originally posted on azht.net.

I assume everyone in Phoenix saw this on the News. A bank robber running from the police commiting suicide by turning into oncoming traffic. A car enthusiast is a car enthusiast when something tragic like this happens regardles of what they drive.

Very rarely does everyone come together like this and I can't think of a better reason to do it, so please share this with every local forum you can. The guys on AZHT have asked that we all wear white shirts as well to create a uniform look.

A link to our original thread can be found here: http://www.azht.net/forum/showthread.php?t=48412

Our members have even gone as far as contacting the news stations....

This thread outlines our plans for a Donation Meet/Drive for Alex Ahmad, the driver of the white Supra, who was killed on 12/5/07 when a bank robber selfishly took his life by driving head-on into Alex's Supra during a police chase.

Details
Date: 12/16/07
Time: 10AM meet at Lot 59 at ASU.
12PM depart Lot 59 to travel to the scene of the accident to pay respects.

(please be respective of all laws when traveling to the scene as we'd like to have everyone home safely).

We will collect donations for the family at the scene for all who are willing to contribute. We're currently working to see if the family is receptive to having these donations presented to them. If they wish not to, we will certainly find an approprite cause.

We will accept donations from 12:30PM (travel time to arrive there) to 4:00PM.

Lot 59 is located on the NW corner of Rio Salado and Scottsdale Rd. Below you will find a map.



As mentioned, at 12PM we will travel to the scene, located on McKellips, just east of the 101.



The easiest form of travel will be:

From Lot 59 travel east on Rio Salado to Scottsdale Road
Turn Left on Scottsdale Rd and merge onto the 202 East
From the 202 East merge to the 101 North
The first exit is McKellips. Turn right and proceed down about 1.5 miles.

Hope to see everyone there.

Just to add in case people don't know what happened, Here is the NASIOC thread on it that has some pics, video, and a link to his myspace.

Here is a video of the actual accident. He happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. It is very tough to watch.

Just wanted to bump this for the weekend. I'll be there. Feel free to say hi if you stop by. It would be nice to have a nice F-body/vette/GTO showing. I have a Pewter 99 Camaro SS with the LP "10SCNDS"
