        Does anyone know if these guys were members? There are some chilling comments from the first one the scene from the article I linked last page.

          I parked next to those young men and we had a nice chat comparing our almost identical rides. I had never met them before Sunday, and I'm just sick about their deaths.

          I read some tacky comments from some really insensitive people that theorize too much speed, etc.

          I have a different theory, and it's a lesson we all need to learn. It was raining hard, and aquaplaning was likely occurring. I think they had the cruise control activated. If you drive a rear wheel drive car in slippery without traction control, and especially if you have a limited slip diff, you should never use cruise control. If you hit a puddle you will slow down, and the "brain" will push down on the throttle creating a spin. On a front wheel drive car it's not nearly as deadly, but a lot of young drivers have very little experience with RWD.

          Rest in Peace, young men.

                So...looking through my camera I took jack for picks. I'll blame the rain and not wanting to keep a camera out. But I will post more eventually since I know my buddy took more.
