A Ride For VAL In Her Memory (Keep checking back for updates)

[Brett]

PLEASE SEE UPDATE'S BELOW

Okay I have been thinking all day of a way we can make a difference and give Val a send off that she can look down on and smile and know how much we all cared for her and loved her.

I propose we do a "Ride In Val's Memory" and what I would like to do is have Tray PM me when he is ready for his approval on this and maybe lead the drive. I am thinking maybe a run around the perimter or something within the next week or so.

What I would like to organzize is I would set up a place for us to all meet and converge and take $5 per car that comes in to ride with us and we will donate that to Val's family to help with funeral costs, etc.

$5 isnt much but per car and with as many as I think would show up, I think we woulc all show Tray and her family how much of an impact she has made in our lives and in this scene.

Val honey.... You are one person who I truley feel was taken from the face of this earth WAY before her time. You have touched so many of us and brought smiles to our faces and we will never forget you. We love you for ever!!



PLEASE post up if you will be interested in doing this and ONLY discuss this in here, No BS crap please.

I need idea's of where we could meet and take the ride to.



** UPDATE **

Okay I just recieved a PM from Tray and also a voice mail from Trays sister. I am going to call her tomorrow and see what weekend would be good for them, I am going to see if they want to do this within the next 2-3 weeks so they can right now worry about the funeral arrangements, etc and then come out with friends as we honor her and her life the best way we know how, to get her friends and cars together and roll out one last time for the girl we all loved.

I can promise you she will be looking down with a smile and even calling some of us Ricers and laughing... But hey.. That was Val for ya!! :D

I am calling Trey's sister tomorrow night at 6, so by Tomorrow night I will give more details and get with a few of ger very close friends to help me finalize a date & ride location.

[quickdodge®]

I'm in, of course. Later, QD.

[BTLFED]

I'm down. Absolutely.

[osnap]

sounds like a great idea. im in, pending date/time info.

[HalfBaked]

I'm down, I'd walk if I had to.

[james]

I think its a good idea -- but only if tray is up for it, and if you give him time.

[B00STedSvT]

I'' Be right Behind Ya..5 dollars Is Nothing Compared to the Loss of Such a Good Human Being..Whether U knew Her personally,On Ia or Just Heard about her recently, This is Truely a Person That Deserves A Proper Send off and I Would Hope that Everyone who Knew her Shows up..Thanks Brett for Trying to get Something Started.

[quickdodge®]

- but only if tray is up for it, and if you give him time.

That was uncalled for as it was already stated. Later, QD.

[BTLFED]

I'm down, I'd walk if I had to.

You know you can ride with me, Homie.

[Brett]

I think its a good idea -- but only if tray is up for it, and if you give him time.

READ what I already said.

[Nitro]

i'm game dawg.......

[LEAVINU]

I am in.

Marshall

[Brett]

When Tray is ready, I am sure he will PM me and we can do this as far down the road as he would like. I dont expect it to be done in the next week or two, They have a funeral to prepare for and they need to spend time together and grieve, But on a few weeks or whenever, WE WILL DO THIS.

[B00STedSvT]

Just Let us Know a Few days or so Ahead of Time..I Will Cancel Any other plans Whenever The ride Is set to Go.

[Hulud]

im down, just post a time and date i will try to get it off work if need be

[Brett]

Oh for sure, We would set this far enough in advance so everyone could make arrangements to make this.

[06SilverBullet]

I am in...I could donate, but I am in HI. Anything that I could do to help, I will.

[james]

[TIGERJC]

HOW ABOUT WE TAG HER PICTURE TO THE TOP OF EVERY IA page

example - tamparacing.com

[The Ren]

Im in! I will be there.. this is such a better idea then what I had.. I would also like to get with someone whether it be paul/and or tracy and see if we could get some decals made.. Matt (halfbaked) came up with an awesome decal idea..

[Elbow]

I'll go

[PhAtBoYMr2]

[Stormhammer]

[Boosted S60R]

I will post this on the volvo boards and I am sure at least 5 or 6 of them will come do it just to donate the money for her family to help out

[DeutscheBAG!]

[The Ren]

I will also post this on supraforums since a few of the guys over there knew her as well

[CHADbee]

i'd be down

[E46bud]

[Nittanys1]

im also interested in riding for her and her family!

[sirkus]

If it's on a weekday and after 7:30 or on the weekend.. I'll be there. Regardless I'll send money for the cause.

[quickdodge®]

finalize a date & ride location.

I say the Loop around 285 is a good idea. Sounds cool as hail. Later, QD.

[Big Baller]

I'll be there.

Matt

[Echonova]

I'm in.

[4ngie]

I'm in, Brett. Keep me updated.

[240sxautox]

hey... i never knew Val... but it's a heartwrenching story and I've experienced a loss of close friends due to car accidents recently... I'd like to at least donate if not be part of the cruise. If someone could PM me or let me know, that would be great... it's such a horrible situation- but a great way to remember and show respect. if I don't drive with the group I think It would be great to get my camera and take pictures from overpasses as the cruise passes underneath... just a string of import atlanta members and friends cruising in memory..

[Flip]

I'm in. Gimie time and date and I'm there...

[2.3 Evo 8]

Great idea. As long as I'm not out of town for work, count me in.

[Brett]

Thanks everyone for your support!!

As soon as I get with Tray or the family I will post up a date.

Would a Saturday or Sunday be better for everyone?

[Boosted S60R]

Sunday its the only day I am off. I work 6 days a week

[quickdodge®]

Thanks everyone for your support!!

As soon as I get with Tray or the family I will post up a date.

Would a Saturday or Sunday be better for everyone?

Either for me. Brett. It should also be known that this is NOT a race. It is a cruise. No tomfoolery involved. Later, QD.

[quickdodge®]

Sunday its the only day I am off. I work 6 days a week

Then Saturday it is. Later, QD.

[Lucky DAWG]

i'm in depending on time and date,
but i'll try hard to make it work

great idea btw brett

[boosted1jz]

sounds like a great idea!!! if i am available that weekend i am deff down!!

chris

[Brett]

Either for me. Brett. It should also be known that this is NOT a race. It is a cruise. No tomfoolery involved. Later, QD.

Oh trust me there will be guidlines for this ride and speed will be one of them. What I am trying to see is if Tray will want to be the lead car and we would all single file pick a lane and stay in it and stay behind him for the loop run. SPEED will be a issue we would address when I get this set up, trust me.

Yessir. If you need help planning this, get with me. I have people. Later, QD.

[B00STedSvT]

I dont Know about U Guys, But To Me It would feel Right to do it On a Sunday.....

[Scrappy]

I am down so is Yousef Brett let us know!!! You are awesome to set this up for her we all will ride with her there!

[Brett]

Does anyone know if a central spot off 285 that could accomodate a group of this size to meet up and converge and come back to at the end?

I want to arrange this so we have no issues with cops and yet be close enough for us all to leave out as a line and get on 285 in a line and roll back to the end point still in a line.

Any idea's on where to meet at PLEASE let me know.

Does anyone know would it be hard to get maybe the local PD of that area to have a car come out and as we roll out they keep traffic out of a lane and make it so we can all get on the highway together?

[Nittanys1]

where the first elite meet was

[joecoolfreak]

I am in...

[Ericp]

I never had the pleasure of meeting her but I'm definitely up for this

[quickdodge®]

Does anyone know would it be hard to get maybe the local PD of that area to have a car come out and as we roll out they keep traffic

That's where the "I know people" comment comes in, Brett. State patrol higher ups are on my Grandparents BFF list. Later, QD.

[A.P. Photography]

where the first elite meet was

The one off of Cobb Pkwy? That would be a good one I think.

[Brett]

^^ That would be awesome, as soon as I get the details from the family I will get with you on this. Thanks Mike!!!

[Nittanys1]

no cobb parkway

[Hulud]

Thanks everyone for your support!!

As soon as I get with Tray or the family I will post up a date.

Would a Saturday or Sunday be better for everyone?
saturday or sunday

[EvoDriven]

I'm def down! Val was truely one in a million...Please keep us updated on the date!

[Brett]

The one off of Cumberland Pkwy? That would be a good one I think.

Yeah that might work, Its a great size place to.

[Chuckster]

I think this is a great idea Brett. Me and Brandi will be attending for sure. I say sunday is the best day to set this up.

[devrules81]

I'm in.

[Nittanys1]

off cobb parkway near cumberland

[Boosted S60R]

Sunday would probably be less traffic also.

[Brett]

Very true

[A.P. Photography]

off cobb parkway near cumberland
Fixed it, you all know what I meant.

[Brett]

Dizzle, Do me a favor, Maybe tomorrow talk to your Grand Father and see what he could find out this way when I speak to the family about this I can give some things we are working on to assure this runs smooth and makes Val proud.

[HachiDori]

I am most down for the ride, and will donate $20 maybe more depending on the date.

Keep us updated.

[quickdodge®]

Gotcha Brett! Later, QD.

[koukis14]

I will be there if I can, I work until 4 every Saturday.

[BTLFED]

I agree on Making it on a Sunday. That way I can definitely make it.

Val For President.

[quickdodge®]

Later, QD.

[BTLFED]

That's awesome QD.

[Infinite]

im down

[EvasiveEF9]

I'll ride if it's on a night I can ride. Count me in.

[Red]

I'm down if I don't have to work. I think it's a great way to help out Tray and Val's Family.

[Brett]

On A Sunday I agree would be more fitting, Let me talk it over with the family tomorrow night :)

[Deaf Pimp]

Let's do this. This is such a good appreciation. Let's get some decals made too.

[Ed]

sunday is best for everyone i believe.

a good meeting spot could be the cumberland mall. its got enough parking for everyone. good start/end point IMO.

[Deaf Pimp]

BTW, we should make it a point for the people that come that this is not a race. Just a casual drive around 285 in memory of Val. I know she probably wouldn't mind a race or two ;-) ... but in any case, we don't want to start attracting the wrong attention.

[sung]

Listen, I know I had some issues with some of you in here, but Val was one of my closest friend and if it's a pride or any other bs, I'm willing to drop it and attend this drive in her memory.

http://evolutionse.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2936

thanks.

[Brett]

Yeah I already did address this in here and the speed limit and staying on ONE line will be enforced for this one.

[Maniaç]

im in. 5 dollars is nothing compared to losing a love'd one...
keep us updated brett

[BTLFED]

Let's do this. This is such a good appreciation. Let's get some decals made too.

We are already discussing decals.

[Jaimecbr900]

You know I'm in.

Brett, let me know if I can help in any way.

[EvasiveEF9]

Honestly...with as many people as it's looking like may come...we might want to consider 2 lanes..? Just a thought...

[Brett]

I am calling Trey's sister tomorrow at 6pm so I should have some more details then and I will post up but if they are okay with it I am thinking of like 2 weeks from now so everyone has time to plan ahead and this gives the family time to deal with all this.

[98strat]

Im in as long as im in town.

[Brett]

You know I'm in.

Brett, let me know if I can help in any way.

I may take you up on that, I may get a few of the OG's to meet up with me this week so we can sit down and finalize the exacts once I post a date so we can make sure this runs as smooth as it can and not end up as a cluster fuck of a gathering.

[quickdodge®]

Honestly...with as many people as it's looking like may come...we might want to consider 2 lanes..? Just a thought...

No. We can't take up too much highway. GSP won't go for that. It'll just have to be one long line. Later, QD.

[Sibious]

im in... sunday would be better for me also...This is something that going to be so special for everyone in ia to show there respect for an outstanding person that enjoyed life to the fullest.

[quickdodge®]

I may take you up on that, I may get a few of the OG's to meet up with me this week so we can sit down and finalize the exacts once I post a date so we can make sure this runs as smooth as it can and not end up as a cluster fuck of a gathering.

That would include me, I hope? Later, QD.

[Maniaç]

oh and brett pm me when this is gonna go down... i don't really wanna read the whole thead.
and ill see if i can bring some other people along to help out.. the more the better

[Brett]

of course

[Hulud]

No. We can't take up too much highway. GSP won't go for that. It'll just have to be one long line. Later, QD.
one long line, its not a race

plus if you take up two lanes you are obstructing the flow of traffic which is against the law

[quickdodge®]

Maniac, it'll probably be updated on the MAIN POST or a new thread will have the announcements. Later, QD.

[Hulud]

oh and brett pm me when this is gonna go down... i don't really wanna read the whole thead.
and ill see if i can bring some other people along to help out.. the more the better
he should just make a new thread about it, :2cents:

[Sharif@Forged]

I was so sorry to hear about this loss. I'll be there, once the time/place is announced.

[Brett]

oh and brett pm me when this is gonna go down... i don't really wanna read the whole thead.
and ill see if i can bring some other people along to help out.. the more the better

You got it, But I will make a new thread for the details.

[S II K]

im in, and i also agree on a sunday. any idea if itll be during the day or night?

[Maniaç]

he should just make a new thread about it, :2cents:

W0rd


Maniac, it'll probably be updated on the MAIN POST or a new thread will have the announcements. Later, QD.

cool... ill keep checking back to this thread.. i know two people that met her once.
and was told that she was a really cool girl.... *real talk* RIP Val

[Brett]

im in, and i also agree on a sunday. any idea if itll be during the day or night?

Will most likley be on a Sunday now and will for sure be a day run.

[EvasiveEF9]

No. We can't take up too much highway. GSP won't go for that. It'll just have to be one long line. Later, QD.
Good call. Damn...that's gonna be a LONG line...

I'm just concerned about non-participants weaving in such a long line...

Thinking of traffic conditions, what about a satur-night "Commemorative Midnight Cruise, In Loving Memory, Valerie"

Traffic would be low...and there's just something about doing it at midnight that seems to make it more...snap, what's the word... Dedicated? QD, help me with my vocab, here... It'd be low traffic, and midnight would = sunday..

[EvasiveEF9]

Will most likley be on a Sunday now and will for sure be a day run.
Nevermind...kills my idea posted above...

[atlantasol]

Count me in. I love you Val, Tray, and family. Val will definitely be missed. I don't ever remember seeing her without a huge grin on her face, probably bc she was always cracking jokes on people lol.
I love you guys, and I'm here for you all.

RIP Val,
mb

[RISKYB]

im in, sounds like a great idea

[Jaimecbr900]

I'm ready when you are. Call me or PM me. :goodjob:

[The Ren]

Brett if you need anything from me.. let me know..

[Jaimecbr900]

I like the midnight cruise idea. It would definetly alleviate the traffic issues. We could do it Sat. to Sunday type thing.

[WickedIXMR]

I love this idea...Im deff in and also this that the midnight thing would be better depending on how many people can go. Brett i also think that you should edit in the first post that people can donate more that $5 if they want out of respect for Val especially, her family, Tray, and his family.

[Marta Mike]

im game. Sunday sounds better as well. It might sound lame but maybe someone could make a big card so that we could all sign it, and give it to the family with the donation, just to show our condolences.

[koukis14]

From the sounds of it there are going to be alot of people, I think we should meet in different places to avoid 200 cars trying to merge on to 285 at the same time.

[ATK_Designs]

I'm looking forward to the time and date.

[§treet_§peed]

i'm trying to get more people to come and help with the donations as well..

[ubers2k]

I'm up for it... just PM me location and date and time when it happens. I'll be there.

[Scrappy]

Start at the "cutless" medlock starbucks and end at Barrett starbucks would make her laugh at us!

[§treet_§peed]

im game. Sunday sounds better as well. It might sound lame but maybe someone could make a big card so that we could all sign it, and give it to the family with the donation, just to show our condolences. good idead:goodjob:

[EvasiveEF9]

What else was Val in to? Did she do mountain runs, did she spend time at AMS, Road ATL, Dallas, Commerce, the V?...maybe we could pick some of her favorite spots. Drive from one to the other.

IE: If she did mountain runs, we could gather up here in Blue Ridge and cruise into atlanta and stop at the V.

I didn't know the girl, but I don't need to. She sounds like she was a great person. Wish I'd got to meet her. Just trying to think of a good dedication in the meantime.

[TRAYZ06]

She was a drag racer. She loved it more than anything. She was so looking forward to import Showdown. We had her car almost ready for her to hit the track, and suprise people.

If anything with a cruise. Lets cruise to the race. Race for Val!

Thanks for the kind words everyone. It really does help me thru this horrible time.

Sorry for your loss. Yea I like the drag strip idea more :goodjob:

[Scrappy]

That is a awesome plan for Importshowdown, it was her known territory to show us what she was! I am down

Yousef is also!!

[brittoknee]

I am also very sorry for your loss.

[dtmcnamara]

bikes also? if so count me and v in

[brokedsm]

I know this is a no brainer, but can someone ensure that they take a moment for Val at IS?

[TheSnail]

Count me in.

[atl530i]

I'm in also. Sorry for your loss.

[2.3 Evo 8]

I know this is a no brainer, but can someone ensure that they take a moment for Val at IS?

Working on it already.

[GTScoob]

I'm down. Val really touched a lot of people as I've seen the news posted up on numerous boards. I know a couple of us from WRXatlanta will be rolling out for the cruise.

[rickgiblin]

im in... i would reall ylike to join. i never got a chance to meet her but i talked to her a few times on here. she deserves the best. may god rest her soul. Val, we all know your up in heaven looking down on us. RIP.

[RandomGuy]

I am most definitely down for whatever.

[NAIZBST]

I am down for the ride to IS or wherever we decide......

[redlift]

im down. alan too. lots of replies to this so i dont know if its been suggested, but why not meet at starbucks on barrett where we always sat with her while she graded papers? i dunno just a thought.

[onebadbird96]

i didnt know her but sounds like she was a cool person , so im down

[Maniaç]

A ride to importshowdown sounds good.... lets help her reach her final destination.....

But lets, brett and tray figure out what's gonna happen

[Deaf Pimp]

I think a ride to Import Showdown would be in order. A tribute around 285 sounds great, but a ride up to her favorite spot would be sweet. I'm sure we'll hear her screaming at all the ricers who can't line up properly for a race! LOL

[GIXXERDK]

A biker will ride amongst you all.

[ahmonrah]

just let me know when and where, i'll ride a bike if i have to

[Brett]

[Brett]

I like the midnight cruise idea. It would definetly alleviate the traffic issues. We could do it Sat. to Sunday type thing.

Maybe that would be good to.

I only worry many people woudnt be able to attend it, I know I wouldnt be able to make the ride to that event, But Id still of course help organize it :)

[Rican219]

I'm Game

[Mike Lowrey]

I'm down.

[ORGANIZATIONXIII]

I'm in pending time/date and all that jazz..

[Nittanys1]

Yeah I already did address this in here and the speed limit and staying on ONE line will be enforced for this one.

we should also figure out what lane we r going to drive in. I would say the 2nd or 3rd lane as to not deal with traffic getting on the hwy and not have to worry about changing lanes if the hwy were to be two exit lanes

[Brett]

I think if the people want to do a ride when you all go to the track thats a great idea, But do you not also want to do this ride around the perimeter so we can get the most people involved?

[HachiDori]

Starbucks has to be involved somehow..

[Hundo®]

Trey as in.. at top speed? what happened.. fill me in.. either way.. im down for sure.



EDIT:

wow..

[mccoy1178]

Just let me know when!
Mccoy

[touringBubbl]

I will definately be there.

[Brett]

I cant thank you all enough for the support.

[Jaimecbr900]

When it's Import showdown? Will the stickers be ready by then? Who's working on those (I think Tracy is, but I may be wrong)?

Brett, count me in for everything. Just give me a heads up. :goodjob:

[lowjack]

Brett, Nicole and I are in with whatever we do as a import community. It is a tragic loss of a very special friend.

Tray, I have not called out of respect during these last few days, both Nicole and I feel for you and will keep you in our thoughts. We are here for you always.

[Scrappy]

Both rides would be amazing... one where the roads knew she was coming and one where everyone could see what she was made of! I will definately come to both no question about it> Tray Keep strong man I know you can pull through we are all here with you and for you!!!!

[2.0civic]

Im down just keep an update on time etc and ill be there for sure!

RIP VAL

[SL33P3R]

Ill be there

[§treet_§peed]

i'm still down for whatever whenever

[Doppelgänger]

unfortunatly i only knew of her on here, very intresting and funny person. Count me in!!!

And im sure if we want, we can donate more then $5... i know im going to :)

[2.3 Evo 8]

I have been talking with Holly and Paul from GADSM that run the Import Showdown. Holly said if Tray approved, they will have a moment of silence for Val and put "In memory of Val and VAL FOR PRESIDENT on all of the Import Showdown shirts.

The shirts were scheduled to print on Wednesday so as soon as Tray gives the approval this will be added.

Holly said she would either like to help with funeral services or use part of the money to donate to Val's favorite charity.

[Leisa]

Im definitely game for this... no doubt...

I think if the people want to do a ride when you all go to the track thats a great idea, But do you not also want to do this ride around the perimeter so we can get the most people involved?

285 is definitely better for more people involvement and not everyone is going to Import Showdown. Later, QD.

[Eurostunna07]

285!!! ..im sure everyone knows now it doesnt dead end.

[quickdodge®]

Plus, I know a few of us have camcorders and we can film this, too. I know I will. Later, QD.

[SandM]

im down, just post up a time and a day and ill be there.

[2.3 Evo 8]

Just got off the phone with Tray's sister and Tray would love to have in memory of Val on the Import Showdown shirts. There will also be a moment of silence for Val during the event.

Trays sister mentioned a charity and Holly with the GADSM is going to arrange something. Holly has Andrea's number and it going to go over the details with her and Tray.

[quickdodge®]

What about the Ride on 285? Later, QD.

[Brett]

Thats still a go, Im gonna call Andrea tonight and fill her in

[The Ren]

With due respect, is this really something that should be recorded?

I know we can't control people, or whatever, but it just seems to me that recording it seems to be making it more as...I don't know, publicity, and stuff? Just seems to me like it shouldn't be recorded. Just known and remembered...

Thoughts? Disagreements?

[§treet_§peed]

do it like on the 22nd then

[The Ren]

I say do it the 22nd..

[Brett]

22nd works for me, I will talk to them tonight and if they agree I will post up the date, time and meet up location.

QD any word yet on the GHP?

[Ed]

I dont believe recording is a bad idea.

[NAIZBST]

darn I will be out of town on the 22nd........but I will be at the memorial service

Disagreement here. It's not a funeral. It's a nice cruise and get together in her memory. I nice video showing the outpouring of friendship that she gathered on and off IA would be a really nice and memorable gesture. Later, QD.

My grandparents are going to check with the friend tonight(out of town last night). Later, QD.

[Echonova]

Just a thought, we could meet up at the Park-n-Ride off Indian Trail. On Sunday it should be pretty empty so there would plenty of room to stage. Direct access to the hwy and only 2 exits up from 285.:2cents:

[Brett]

ya know what, that might actually be a GREAT idea.

Im looking at the 22nd and I will clear it with the family tonight.

[Maniaç]

22nd sounds good! let me know so i can request that day @ work..

When put that way...

..justified.

[*~Ashton~*]

great idea brett!! I'm in!

[Jaimecbr900]

Brett, since most OG's are going to be at the wake tomm night, why not have a mini pow-wow about the logistics of the memory ride? If not then, maybe have a lunch meet after the funeral on Wens?

There are wayyy too many people wanting to participate to be able to just wing it the day of. Not to mention it's just too many things for just one person to do. I'm sure there are a few of us more than willing to try and help you sort things out.

Maybe we could have it at Val's favorite......STARBUCKS..... ;) :D

Just an idea. :goodjob:

[quickdodge®]

Aaahhhh, don't say that. I can't get off to go the funeral. Now a dinner time meet....Later, QD.

I would LOVE to ride along for some one who seemed so amazing in the car community.

I would say film it. As we had a fellow MX rider pass years back. My dad actually filmed us riding our dirtbikes through the town for the funeral procession. The family loved it.

Again. I would be absolutely honored to ride along for the cause.

[1slodsm]

i will 110% for sure be there for her

[Driven3]

I'm down..... RIP.
