    God's Embrace, Chris Hill.

    Love and hugs to Vicki - we're thinking about you...
    Ranked No. #1 in initial quality

    Idiots, simply by being idiots, seem capable of achieving randomly bad things that are beyond the imaginings of sensible people.

    I mentioned it in chat, but this one hit me a little different. I didn't shed a tear when my uncle passed away mid September, or when my aunt passed end of September, but I had to hold back my emotions when I got word of Chris' passing.

    Considering his diagnosis it's amazing he made it this long. It just shows the warrior that he was.

    The first time I met Chris in person was at Pittsburgh Raceway Park (Keystone Raceway Park) way back when he was still Import Power and when he first starting pushing the FWD. He was the one that monikered my car "The Bastard."

    I'm pretty sure that first time was the famous 32 PSI BOOM video, where he turned the MBC a little too much overboosted, and destroyed the engine.

    RIP Chris.

    Wow. Somehow I missed word of this. Damn.

    I wonder how Chris's old VR4 engine is doing in Steve's car now.

    It's not, Carlos.

    He won't part with it, either.
