its never cool when someone dies racing. i heard there was a lot of skepticism about having that many cars on the track, there were concerns about dust clouds and all around chaos. it was certainly a pile-up fit for the record books.

If his truck is pretty stock then DP is a good tuner.

If he does anything wild (big injectors monster turbo(s) I'd recommend Matt @ Gearhead. That's who is going to tune my truck once I build it.

Everyone dies from something. Would you rather be the dude that ate pavement at 200 or the dude that choked to death on a piece of tofu?

Personally... I'd rather get scraped off the highway. Might as well go out doing something awesome.
