RIP to 1StockF30!

If anyone remembers him he was featured on the front page a while back for crashing his 2 series on the dragstrip going 170 something. Absolute legend in the B58/street racing community.

Now it looks like the second time around on the streets they weren’t too kind to him. Stay safe out there everyone.

Really sobering. I've raced at multiple events with him before, but never at one of these street races.

Dre was just like me and many of you. He loved racing and was willing to spend money and push limits beyond what other people were doing in the pursuit of the passion. I've caught him multiple times at MPACT, Racemotive, Scrambul, and Maple Grove doing roll racing, drag racing, whatever, wherever.

Definitely going to be reevaluating my safety equipment. I think I'm going to get a half cage and harnesses in my next M2 when we turn it up. Things can so south so quick, and this is a perfect example.

Praying for his family.

Good reminder of why Street Racing is not worth the risk. Some of us are wise enough never to, some mature out of it, some learn the hard way.

I was no saint back in my 20’s, look back and realize how lucky to get out of that mindset before I hurt someone else or myself.

Have seen multiple people die in front of me from street racing bikes/cars, shakes you real quick.

He was doing more than street racing (there is a time, place and way if you are going to do it...no guaranteeson safety but better than being reckless). Very sad but one needs to incorporate some common sense.

On a side note, nobody comments on all the different high dollar mega built cars he had/went through...at 25 years of age. Hmmmm....

Low talent inexperienced kid trying to show off for youtube - deadly combination

Social media is a disease in some respects

Real talent is proven on a roadcourse, where it's safe

This is the same guy that crashed his car going 170+ mph on track and was lucky enough to walk away last time. Racing at those speeds is risky AF on track and even more so on the street. I'm not one to judge without getting the full story, but from multiple reports it doesn't seem like he did anything wrong per se, just got unlucky with the car losing the rear and veering out of control. My only gripe is this was on the street, can't help but think what if he killed someone else, not on purpose but because they were racing at insane speeds on the street.
