Unhappy

I too do not know exactly what to say...

Tundra's videos (and posts) helped me decide to buy my 1st L back in 2000 - a black one just like his...

I am glad to see some of the old timers post though - its good to know that they are still around...

I should put on some straight pipes as a tribute...

RIP guys... You will be missed...

god bless the families of all three of the victims. Strange, this weekend I was thinking about a good friend of mine that passed about 6 months ago, Feb 15, 2003. I ended up calling a bunch of my friends and familiy just to talk. I still miss him, and I will always remember him. Tundra made an impact on alot of people all over the U.S. and I am sure he will be remembered. So the next time you see a lightning with straight pipes fly by, share a smile with him.
Jes

I too heard about this while at FFW....

After hearing, it left me with an empty feeling inside.


2 years ago I had the chance to meet Eddie & Brian while in Anchorage. It was a great time I spent with them!!! We went to see Fast & Furious on opening night and then proceeded to laugh at the after movie rice-a-thon.....We spent the day racing at AK Dragway, trying to lower Tundras ET's....We spent the night (or day if you will) eating pizza and drinking some beers....We even spent some time whipping up on unsuspecting people around the streets of anchorage. My time with Tundra and Brian may have been short, but it was a great time!!!!

God Bless Tundra & Brian

Tundra & Sonic03,

I met Tundra through Brian K. He first called and ordered a chip and some other products and over the past year he would call just to talk to the guys and throw different ideas around about new products. Just two weeks ago he had a conversation with Justin about his chip being reburned. I was in Epping, NH when I got the news. Sonic03 was also a customer of ours. I was thinking of both of them when they played the national anthem before first round of eliminations. All my prayers and thoughts were for them and their family. Then I put my helmet on, climed into the Lightning and went racing for them, after all that's what brought us all together. My thoughts are with you both.

I am also a good friend of Ed's and Brian's. I own the Silver SS which starred in many of his videos. Our local board is taking donations to buy flowers for the family and the service. If anyone is interested in donating, here is the link to the thread . Or if you all start your own thread donation fund, I'm sure kirby or one of the other local guys who have posted on here would be more than happy to make sure your flowers get purchased and delivered for you guys. They have touched a lot of people over the years and will be greatly missed.

So sorry..

I saw the news about your friends and fellow members. I post on www.fnsweet.com, and we lost one of our members last year in a very sad accident. I just wanted to say on behalf of the members of fnsweet, that we extend our most heartfelt prayers and wishes to you, and all of the family members effected.

I can say this... the experience is tough, but as a family in our forum, it has brought a lot of us together, and made current relationships stronger.

Again, you are in all of our prayers on fnsweet.com

Best,
2rvsperf
