I never had the pleasure of meeting him, but anyone who loves cars and has surfed the internet for car-enthusiast related videos probably feels like they knew him personally. It's great to hear he was so personable in real life as anyone with such a larger than life personality could have easily ended up being a jerk.
RIP, VR. You'll be missed

Never met him but talked randomly through the forums. Years ago he had offered to test drive a 996 turbo I was looking at while deployed, ended up going with my current turbo. A very selfless guy, the auto enthusiast community lost a friend.
Condolences to his friends and family. RIP.

here is the official release from Spectre 341 Challenge:
"After two days of fun and excitement, the 341 Challenge suffered a
tragedy when VRAlexander was killed in an accident when he went off
course. Out of respect for his grieving family please refrain from
participating in hearsay and speculation. This is a very sad turn of
events, but he was pursuing his dream. Please send your thoughts and
prayers to his family during this trying time."
