I'm numb.
How can this be? Life is so fickle, so hard yet so easily lost. Rest in peace my friend and know that you left only good behind and friends that will miss you. My heart goes out to the family and friends. Jim Rountree

I'm as shocked to hear about his passing as I am to find he was only 38. A lot of life went through that man and his parents should be proud.
I am glad to hear his dad will carry the torch as I'm sure his friends will. I chided Chris to "let it all hang out" as him and I see racing in the same light. It's on to the record books for #24 in memoriam. To his friends and family, we are saddened but please do not let the dream die! RIP in racers heaven where the VP is always free!

An unbelievably cruel outcome to a truly amazing account of one man's determination. Chris represented a vanishing breed of individual; seemingly undeterred by setback and fearless in the pursuit of success. One could not help but be captivated by his accounts of the thrashes in the shop, the road trips and the small victories.
A Star Wars character, short in stature but long in wisdom said: "Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." I think Drooze may have been a fan of that little guy.

This is truly a tragic story and very surreal. I did not know Chris but he had such a profound effect in the short time he posted here at Class Racer.
After trying to post a reply on several occassions, what does one say about an individual who did so much in so little time. His posts were many and some controversial but Chris taught us all that passion, being positive and never giving up, are all true qualities we strive to achieve in our short lives. My condolences to David, Mandie and Chris' children and family who were blessed to have Chris in their lives. RIP in Drooze. We will miss you. Mike Ferstl |
