*extremely Tragic News!!!!!!!!*

[FRENCHIE]

Please be prayerful, some of you may already have heard and some will soon hear!! A very good friend of mine, her name Candace, who has been hangin with and seein my best friend for a couple of months now lost her father on late sunday afternoon!!
Her and the family were on thier last Glamis trip for the season, when he unfortunately went for a last run in his long travel buggy, not wearing his seatbelt, was launched and died almost instantly! Some of you may have seen him in glamis, he owned several wiener shnitzels, and his coach, buggy everything they owened has hot dog paint jobs adn emblems on! i met him once at nascar last month and he was a great guy! no alcohol was invloved, just a bad decision on not wearing a seatlbelt! He leaves a 17 year old son, 19 year old daughter a wife in her early forties and i believe he was only 42!
thanx for your thoughts and prayers....Leon

I'm very sorry to hear this tragic news!!! I just got home from Glamis today and can tell you that the weather turned nasty about 4:30 yesterday afternoon with the wind blowing pretty hard.

Leon, I am shocked and very saddened to read this. I met Chris and his family earlier in the Glamis season at the Extreme Performance (sand car builder) regatta. He helped make that a truly great event even though his car was not running well. I saw him a few times since (always at glamis) and his enthusiasm (sp) was contagious! I am truly bummed out... Please pass the condolences of the Willoughby family to his.

I live down the street from Chris. I moved in last year, and he immeadietly welcomed me into the neighborhodd, especially when he saw I had a rail and we boated in Havasu. People knew him in the neighborhood as "Chili Dog." Often he would stop by and talk about the things we on this forum love, boating and duning. Chris will be missed in the neighborhood by all, as he was a great guy. MY thoughts and prayers go out to his family, god bless.

Just out of curiosity did this guy own a Hallett 270? Last summer at Lake Mead we shared a beach with a guy that had the Hot Dog logos on his Hallet???

[LOWRIVER2]

I heard the trailer and or motor home got stuck so he pulled it out to lighten the load. Like you said, it was a fluke accident that could happen to anyone. That buggy had a lot of power. Small world, I have a friend that is one of his nieces.
God bless the family

[Nord]

Total bummer

[Brian Hatch]

Very sad, we just made him a bunch of coolers last year with a hot dog logo on them.
Wow, that sucks he was a great guy....

We were camping at wash 6 when this happened. My kids were riding their bikes right around our camp & noticed that the sand rail was going kind of fast by them. Apparently it hit a track & flipped. The kids ran over there & then came & got my husband. Shocked to hear that he wasn't wearing a safety belt or helmet. RIP
