Default Unfortunate incident that occured at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway

Some of you may have already heard, but for those who did not, I was at a recent track event this past weekend at Chuckwalla in California. There was a terrible accident where an ITR (Integra Type R) crashed into a concrete watch tower at Turn 10 going into 11. The driver of the vehicle was air lifted out of the scene, but unfortunately, his girlfriend and passenger passed away at the scene.

Please send your prayers and thoughts to the families of the families affected. And if you can, please donate what you can to their families to cover the medical and memorial expenses for these two families.

Thank you for sharing. Any close friend of Chelsea that doesn't use Facebook can pm me for the funeral schedule.
Please don't post any videos of the accident if you have it

I don't have intentions of posting any videos even if I had any. Just wanted to let as many people know about this as I can to spread the word and hopefully get as much donations as possible in times of need.

Quick update: Duc(Jayden) is ok if anyone was wondering. He woke up a few days ago to see Chelsea at the viewing and when we put her to rest. The family seems to be a little better from what I see because they are getting food in their system and some rest which has been lacking a lot this whole week from family and friends.

At least that is some good news. The healing process can now start (physically and emotionally), it'll just take some time.
