ahh man, I hate to hear that. I was just talking to Eric at Innovative about him the other week. I was wondering what he had been up to since he had not been coming around to the events. That's very sad to hear. As others said, you never know.
I remember seeing videos of his Ford running mid/low 13's YEARS ago. Even back before youtube was big. It was pretty cool what he had accomplished with his truck back when diesel performance wasnt half what it is today. His 6.0 was the fastest ford for a long time, as I remember.
