For those that can't make it to NJ, I propose all of us V6'ers driving with our lights on that day. I think it's this Saturday, 10/26/2002, that the Englishtown Raceway Park trip is planned. I might go, don't know if I can make it (got a Final on Tuesday), but either way, I'll have my lights on all day.

I'll make it a point to remember to... I didn't really know him at all so I'm not going to pretend that I did, but I think this message board is like a family..and when any family member dies, whether you knew them or not, you mourn them. RIP.

If I'm tooling around in the Camaro (unlikely), I'll have mine on. I'll keep them on when I take the Buick to Allentown.

I am so sorry to here about Xeno , my prayers go out to his family.
I thought about going to Englishtown this weekend , but Im about 6 hours away, I will have to talk it over with the wife.
I was born and spent the early years of my life in Point Pleasant and Toms River , NJ . My father used to go to Englishtown to drag race his 66 Shelby Mustang ( he wishes he still had that one) . It would be great to come and pay tribute to Xeno and hang out with you guys.

seamed like a very nice guy. Was the first to help me and welcome me to the boards. I sure will miss his enthusiasm and bright outlooks that I've seem post thus far.

My condolences as well go out to the family and close freinds of Ericks.



My lights will shine this saturday.

We appreciate it, clint! My idea wasn't just for v6'ers, I guess I should've posted it up in the main tech board, but Xenodrgn/Erik was a v6'er, so I figured we should pay our respects, too.

'92, what time is the meeting at Etown, and what time would you guys leave to go to Toms River?

I'd drive with my lights on but I probably won't be able to drive the 'bird this weekend. :-/

Probably wouldn't make sense to have my truck lights on.

He seemed like a very nice guy. My condolences.
