Godspeed Mr. Raschke.

 

RIP Mr. Raschke.

 

The pursuit of speed has claimed a lot of lives and will likely continue to do so. Pushing machine and human endurance to the breaking point is what our hobby was built on. We have lost some fast people in the last few years. While my thoughts are with his family and friends I congratulate him on a life lived at wide open throttle.

 

That's not white smoke. That's a salt spray that occurs when there's a crash. Very unfortunate and very sad for Chris's family and friends. RIP Chris and condolences to his family.

 

I sorry to hear of anyone losing their life pursuing their passion in life but they are after all living to the fullest.

 

Sad News
Prayers to Family

 

Damn! Sorry to hear this. Unfortunately it'll probably cast a cloud over landspeed racing. Prayers for him and his family and friends.

Prayers to Family

 

God Speed to Hot Rod Heaven , prayers out to all

 

Prayers to family and friends.
Prayers for all who tempt fate.
A week to pause and count the blessings we overlook.
May his soul rest in peace

 

It's tragic to lose anyone you love,especially suddenly. But my personal opinion, I would love to GO OUT doing something I loved doing! Way better than having a long lingering illness, which puts a drain on yourself and your family, hope that doesn't sound too cold, but that how I feel. My heartfelt condolences to the family and friends.

 

It was a different car then that one, the one pictured is museum bound.

 

I’m with SweetDick, and BanditBilly, it’s a terrible loss but he was doing what he loved pushing the limits to achieve a new record. God Speed and prayers for the family and friends of this mighty warrior.

 

Rest in peace Mr Raschke. He died as he lived. I hope I can be so fortunate when my time comes.

 

A Sad day for All Hot Rodders. Prayers and Condolences for his Family and Friends.

 

This is never easy to learn of a crash, that has taken the life of another driver, out on the salt.
The man knew the risks, and he was doing what he loved, at speed!

​

My condolences to his family!

There are never enough words that can ever soothe or help to bring peace to those, that have lost a loved one, but this particular older, vintage Elton John song, has always been spot on, as a reminder to all of us!

​

 

Condolences to the family ,friends, and team. . His way on his terms. Should we all be so lucky.
Godspeed

 

It should be mentioned that Dave's previous post was about the passing of famed offroad racer Walker Evans.

 

that's horrible. At least he went out doing what he loved. RIP
