Hope this is not the case....

 

Thomas,

Oh no! Say it isn't so... , just from reading his posts I looked up to him, this can't be real.

 

I am completely shocked. Ben and I had talked many times in the past few years and I had been looking forward to finally meeting him this saturday!


RIP

 

This is terrible. No matter if it really is Ben or not, it's a tragedy. Ben and his family will be in my prayers and I really hope that he is not involved in this. If it's is so, then this is a sad day for all 6speeders.

 

i have a link to the news report if anyone wants to look at it.

obviously not going to post it here.

hope you socal guys can organize something to give him a farewell.

nothing more can be said, RIP

 

I'm in shock - I just talked to Thomas, while there is no "official" confirmation, unfortunately it appears that this information is correct.

Thomas and I are working out plans to hold a vigil and assist Ben's family in any way possible. Stay tuned.

 

I deleted the link out of respect...

 

Oh my God, that appears to be Ben's car. I as well am shocked. I'm beyond words.

 

it is confirmed & on the news. there's is also a picture showing the car. PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT POST ANY PICTURE because i know Ben didn't like people post pictures of his car with him in it... at least not here.


i don't know what else to say...

 

i pray it is not him, never met him but he seems like a great guy and i am sure he is, but i also pray for that whoever it was, their soul is rested and the families and friends have strength to cope with such a saddening loss. life is precious, it would be good to live in respect of that and to enjoy relationships we have, give thanks for our blessings, and to put things into perspective for what they are. i give the driver and passengers' families and friends my sincerest condolences

 

Edit:


My prayers are with the families...what a lost.

 

terrible news, RIP.

 

OMG! My heart just sank. Ben and I havent been best of friends here due to our different automotive interests, but reading this has greatly saddened me. I was planning on meeting up with him when i was in La in August. My prayers for his family, and may he rest in piece. Hard to describe the feeling i have in the pit of my stomach. RIP.

 

on rennlist someone said it was Ben...

Terrible news....
