Prayers and condolences to the family. I will miss our late night phone calls and all the crazy questions and Bill is correct Chris had the ability to inspire you for sure.

I enjoyed his thread, never back down and from what I read enjoyed it to it's fullest. My sincere condolences to his family and friends. Rest in Peace.

Another sad, sad day of many lately. I was hoping that I would have the opportunity to introduce myself to him at Indy. My condolences and prayers go out to his family. Rest in peace, Drooze.

I never met Chris, but what I would give to have his drive and motivation. I never experienced anyone who went through so much and kept looking forward, most would have given up. As someone else said, racing just doesn't seem so important today. Rest in Peace.

I never got to meet Chris. But I felt like I knew him from reading his posts here on classracer. I did speak to him on the phone for a few hours, and he was just as energetic on the phone as he was behind the keyboard. He was willing to talk to and give advice to a complete stranger. I think that we can all learn a lot from his passion for life and for racing. He put 110% into everything that he did and never purposely left anything on the table. Chris will definitely be missed in the class racing community. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of Chris's family and friends. RIP Chris.

What a damned shame. No matter what else, he had passion.

The Mopar family has lost another great one. Our heart felt sympathy and our prayers go out to The Wertman family from all of us at the Chris 3 Racing family. God bless you and keep you close at this time.

OMG......This is a shock. My prayers to the family.
RIP "Drooze" you will be missed.

My heart is breaking. Chris was one of my dearest online pals here. A witty creative and dear man.
He represented everything that is most important to me in racing: love of Family & the sport, never giving up, and smiling through all the hard times.

Prayers and love to Chris' family, he will be missed greatly and remembered forever. Rarely does someone you've never met in person touch your life so deeply.

Godspeed Drooze, Ed and I miss you already.
