Roman Report post Posted June 27, 2010 Easy guys.... Lets take a breath.... Step back and not go nuts.... Lets try to only post confirmed info rather than rumor or speculation. Obviously if this is true its a great loss for the board, the community and for his friends and family.... But lets see what we can find out. Perry- Do you have a source for information on this that we could follow up with, or any more details as to where when how, etc?

Perry- Do you have a source for information on this that we could follow up with, or any more details as to where when how, etc? Event in Nevada somewhere that was hill climb based. The guy who text me will not answer the phone or respond to texts as I believe he was in attendance. Im calling like crazy. I called Luke too, and he is not answering either. I know that he was always in touch with him. Any body have any contacts with his family? Something? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Romandad said, it's not right to jump to conclusions, but trying to find out, as he was a big player in the boards and car world, it's more respect than anything.

PCow Report post Posted June 27, 2010 Found this from Louis at LG Motorsports on a forum too.... God I hope this is mistaken identity. Mentions the Pcar and the 242 mile run. I'm at the 341 hill climb challenge here in Virginia City, Nevada. Many of you knew him, Amar said Ross raced his silver 996 at the mile last oct, it went 242 later on that weekend. We made our last pass at 4:37, he rolled up at 4:44, for one last hail Mary pass. He slid off the road, and a engine fire ensued. This track is dangerous, 660' drop off, climbing from 5100' to 6200' elevation. He didn't make it. That's all I know right now :-/ RIP alex. I've been posting pics on facebook, should have our incar video up soon. Louis Can someone please get in contact with someone in his family, or someone they may have known at the event? My phone is useless! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If something bad has happened, we will all know soon enough. If we are wrong, all we will be accomplishing is worrying his family unnecessarily.... Let whatever has to happen, and whatever notifications need to be made, be made, without outside interference.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
