Awesome, awesome guy. I'll be at the viewing and the funeral.

Most snow tires tend to have very low speed rating. The last set of snow tires I had recommended driving at a speed no more than 85. With the speed he was going, the tires wouldn't help him much at all.

I didn't know him personally but I can definitely relate to how everyone feels right now. No matter what, he was a fellow car enthusiast and we all share that here, no matter what you drive. My thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and family. RIP.

If there is a fund set up soon, please either post up or pm me. I will donate as much as I can to help out.

That made the news here in Baltimore. I was like "holy ****" when I saw that because I realized it was a white Supra and I was sure someone had to know the person who was driving.......

This was a terrible accident and I just hope he didn't suffer after this happened. May he Rest In Peace and I hope we all can take away the message that street racing can be deadly. Hopefully his family sees that outpouring of love and care when everyone shows at the viewing.....

today was very hard. It was very nice to see so many people together and it was almost funny thinking about Dave taking pride in bringing so many people together including Nick from DTM and I finally meeting and getting a chance to talk.

Talking to Dave's mom was the most difficult thing to do. I could see the pain in her eyes and felt her pain when she hugged me.

RIP Dave. We miss you
