Evo owner in bad reck after TT tune

We had a Turbo Trix dyno day here in Sanford,FL saturday. Plenty of Evos there. Supposedly there has been an Evo that had a few power mods installed including cams,standalone, injectors etc. We just got news that the Evo had been in a terrible crash after the dyno tune. Someone died in the crash but its not confirmed if it was driver, passenger or pedestrian.I heard the car was demolished completely. This is a wake up call for me and for a lot of you to be careful on the roads specially when our cars make big power. Its real sad to hear something like this has happened. Will update info as soon as i get more details. Be careful out there guys, this can happen to anyone.

from what I've noticed, a lot of people are getting in an accident in last week or so.

it's that time of the season, when this happens.

I saw about 6 car accidents, bad ones on highway and 1 motorcycle accident.
