I knew Mark Modaressi back to 2003. I wonder how many of the current members even know who he was or that he founded this place. Click on the mark modaressi icon on the top of the site if you care to know who founded this place.

Mark got me into the 2004 evolutionm time attack where my car took 3rd. He was killed 6 months later.

I wonder if he would still be proud of this place...

On a final note, who ever set up the memorial site: clean up the links...

 

I only met Mark once. I met him at a multi-forum meet in Maryland. All I can say is he was a great guy. I met him before I was part of the staff here. He thanked me for being a part of his forum. He took his time to talk to me through out the day to make sure me and my fiance at the time were having a good time. I would hope Mark would still be proud of EvoM. He started something great. He will alway be missed.

 

As far as I know, Ali (spt) still owns MarkModaressi.com, and he's no longer affiliated with EvoM (sold it last year.)

Mark is greatly missed. Quite a bit of the staff and user base who knew him (in the online sense) are still around.

 

how did he die?

 

Tragically, hit by a car while walking on the Vegas strip.

 

Im actually wearing a "what happens in vegas stay in vegas" Shirt RIP

 

R.I.P , this is one of the best, if not the best car forum on the net

 

oh wow, may he rest in peace.

 

rip

 

tragically, just when he moved to California to promote the forum.

Rip mark never knew him or met him but thanks for making evom

 

sad, just sad, life is fragile. take nothing for granted.

 

Been here since 2003 and while I did not know him, I knew who he was and what he started.

 

I do not think I have room to post in this thread, but after reading the story I only have one question. Why is it always the good people, the people who reach out to help others? To my understanding Mark was grade A guy, it really is just sad.

My heart goes out to his friends and family.

 

i remember speaking with mark many times....great guy. I am so happy he is being remembered. He affected so many people in great ways. Without this place and his efforts i wouldn't be where i am today with my life and my business. thanks so much Mark.... hope all is well up there buddy!
