Please allow me to share my pain.
I don't even know how to type or how to begin this, last night at 2.00am I received a very sad call, our dear friend Misito has pass away in a drag racing accident at the race track.
He was driving a 7 second gran national and the gas pedal got stuck, the shoot never open and he ended hitting the wall at over 160mph head on.
Misito, all do, not many people are aware of it, was a native of Ponce Puerto Rico, the same place that I come from.
He was and will be the pioneer of the fastest Hyundai in the world with his Hyundai Accent, he was the real deal, 1 year ago we were in search of our next project, we look at every single platform until our friends from the Super Compacto magazine put us in touch with him.
Back then the car best time was 10.50 making her the fastest hyundai anywhere, it was him that talk us into getting in the hyudai world, his track record speak for it self.
Based on his advice we purchase our hyundai, he wanted a 2003 to 2005 because we never do anything half ass, it took me 7 long months to find him the best example I could find a 2005 with 1802 miles.
He was extremelly happy, he was going to be the grandfather of our project, by then he was running 9.20, again the fastest hyundai in this earth.
We will talk every week and how we together were going to build this project,he was so happy to be part of our team, he trust us so much that he wrote down the entire combination on how to make our car run the same times or better.
Indeed the hyundai world has miss on a great tunner,racer and engine builder a very low profile guy that only a few knew about.
It was great to had him in our team, our project will continue and we will make sure that we make his dream a reality,to have the fastest hyundai ever.
I will work non stop to accomplish this goal, that's is a promise, he changed the hyundai world and we hope to continue his legacy.
A sad day for us indeed, we are hurt.
Misito we love you for ever.

Well after a long trip of 18hrs, I finally arrived to the Funeral Home, I had never seen anything like that anywhere before, race cars, friendly people, regetton, you named they had it, I am sure that is the way Misito could like it.
Pro drivers Cesar Febus and Siguel were among us.
Afterwards the ceremony was at the El Tuque race track, a track that will take anyones breath away with an unreal ocean view, again the ceremony was over the top.
I learn a lot from this trip,Misito was a very humble person and a great human, he has change my life for ever, and I too want to follow his footsteps and become a better person.
I am so happy that I made the trip, I know he was very happy to see me there.
Misito, I love you and I miss you.

Thats horrible, terrible luck to have so many things go wrong in one pass. Sadly, thats the risk you take racing such fast cars, even in a controlled environment.
I hope I die doing something I love a lot though.

^Definately Ham. It is sad to see someone that obviously meant so much to the Hyundai community go. I personally never knew anything about the guy or what he was involved in but it sounds like he was a great guy who knew his stuff. i will definately keep him and his family and friends in my prayers
