I just received a call from Michelle at Cargraphics, and was shocked to hear that our valued 6speedonline member and friend ben lj, passed away today during some track event. Ben made some posts today, and I still can't believe it.

I am a bit out of reality now, and just want to say that our prayers are with your spirit, Ben, and your family. You contributed to our forum for years, and became a member of our family...I deeply am sorry for this loss.

Just dont know what to say..

my condolences and prayers to his family.

 

Sometimes we forget it's a dangerous hobby. Ben, you and your family are in our prayers. Godspeed my friend, I'll never forget you.

 

My God, I'm absolutely stunned! When I read the news, I was almost numb. I spoke to Ben on a few occassions and enjoyed many "back and forth" exchanges with him on this forum - always in fun. My thoughts and prayers also go out to his family.

 

That is terrible... Does anyone know what happened?

 

I am at a total loss for words
I have a sick feeling in my stomach

My prayers are with Ben's family

GodSpeed Ben

 

Wow, I had to read this 5 times before it sank in . I still can't believe it - I'm in shock. I'll keep his family in my prayers, what a tragedy. Chatted with several times and he struck me as a genuine and kind person.

 

Ryan, please tell me tihs is some kind of mistake, i'm taking this really badly. Is he in ICU, any chance of hope? Too close to home brother

 

Just got off the phone with michele telling me about this... What a huge loss... My prayers and thoughts goes out to Ben's family...

 

Ben was a wonderful guy. One of the nicest guys I have ever met. Though we didn't agree on everything, it was all in good fun. I cherish the moments that we spent in La Jolla hanging out and driving around in his car.

I'm just shocked and horrified to hear this news.

 

Ben...You will be missed more than you could imagine. RIP.

 

Although I never met Ben, I always enjoyed his posts. My condolences go out to his surviving wife and daughter.

 

This is a sad day indeed. Ben was not only a great contributor to this forum, but also an honorable man, and he will be missed by many. My deepest condolences to his family and friends, all of whom are in our collective thoughts and prayers.

He was a true class act, avid enthusiast, family man and one who was always so generous as to allow us mere mortals to vicariously live through his super car experiences. Rest in peace Ben...
