I just learned of Ben's shocking death. Like Bish, I met and talked to him at length during the Oregon Cobra trip. He was just the nicest and most soft-spoken guy you could ever meet. We talked about how much fun we were having and about meeting again for next summer's group trip.
I know nothing of the details of the accident, but I feel compelled to say this...please friends, realize that in addition to being a fun 'toy' these cars are also potentially leathal instruments. They are generally overpowered and dynamically unstable with absolutely NO crash protection. We need to always keep these facts very much in mind and never let ourselves get complacent. At 300 hp, my car is dangerous enough. To friends running 4 & 500+ hp, I can only say, be very very careful.
