We call it the ten miles of hell, the road S curves and switch backs thirty two times, at the start there is a quarter mile of straight road to get rolling in and one passing area about a three quarters of mile long two miles into the course We Block off both ends of the road which is hardly ever used anyway just to be safe, well to keep others safe from us. We run two cars at a time, We have been pretty lucky a few fender benders and crashes but no loss of life till yesterday, we raced for a few hours yesterday but the weather was starting to get a little funky, rain and sleet don’t mix well with high speed cornering, I decided to call it a day and headed home, my buddy and a couple others decided to stay a make a few more runs, we don’t drink or party till the racing is done so I know what happened wasn’t the cause of alcohol, in fact it was a front tire that blew out, the wet road, the roll over and sudden stop into a old growth douglas fir that caused the fatality. My friend is gone, I’m going to drive up to Ten miles of hell today and leave a cross and a wreath and drive the road for the last time… This was one of his favorite songs by the Beach Boys..
It happened on the strip where the road is wide
Two cool sharps standin" side by side
Yeah, my fuel injected stingray and a four-thirteen
Were revvin' up our engines and it sounds real mean
Tach it up, tach it up
Buddy gonna shut you down
Declinin' numbers at an even rate
At the count of one we both accelerate
My stingray is light the slicks are startin' to spin
But the four-thirteen's really diggen' in
Gotta be cool now power shift here we go
Superstock dodge is winding out in low
But my fuel injected stingray's really startin' to go
I'm gettin' the traction i'm ridin' the clutch
My pressure plate's burnin' that machine's too much
Pedal's to the floor hear the dual quads drink
And now the four-thirteen's lead is startin' to shrink
He's powered by ram induction but it's understood
I got a fuel injected engine sittin' under my hood
Shut it off, shut it off buddy now I shut you down
Shut it off, shut it off buddy now I shut you down
Shut it off, shut it off buddy now I shut you down
Shut it off, shut it off buddy now I shut you down
Shure going to miss ya my friend...

I always try to look at the ones who leave as the ones who were lucky enough to get out of here.

Sorry he's gone so suddenly but maybe he and I are both glad he went doing something he loved to do?
Thinking he might be there with you in future races too.
