Please drive/bring your VW in a showing of support for Hector and his life.

The truly sad part was this celebration was already planned to celebrate Hector's 48th Birthday.

We will be gathering at Hector's favorite pit spot, at the finish line.

Just a bump to remind everyone of the tribute this Thursday -- There will be a Giant BBQ at Hector's pit so bring a little something for everybody to share.

If you'd care to -- bring a candle to light and hold when they tow Hector's car down the strip

Never met the man, but was inspired by his accomplishments.
I'd be there if I could.

Hope the turnout represents.
Best wishes,

Just Got Back from Hectors Memorial.....
I gotta say there was a massive gathering of family and friends ...I was really impressed with mass of Friends he had touched in his "way to short life"... !!!!....there was food "Non Stop " I didn't know Hector in a personal way but had talked to him a few times ...I just wished I could have talked some more to the man that brought So many people together to celebrate his friendship and also his passing !...overall it was a beautiful gathering and A perfect evening ...I just kept'ed on thinking what a loss this has been for so many people ....I will miss seeing Hector and his lightning fast runs which was one of the highlights of going to all the events that gave us the chance to see him run ....!! I will never forget hearing the phrase so many people were talking about today that Hector was know to say and even had it on his licences plate frame.............
                                                                 " DON"T TALK"
                                                                " JUST BRING IT "

                                                                      RIP Hector

Very well put and I completely agree with your post, Kaferdog. Just walked in the door from that event, as well. VERY impressive amount of people that came out to pay their respects.

Rest in peace, Hector.

I want to thank everyone for showing up and supporting the Urias Family -- I also want to thank the winner of the 50/50 raffle for NOT claiming their half of the raffle and letting the full $3100 go to Hector's wife and daughter

Wow. That's great. Is it cool if I post up a few pictures on this thread from last night? Just asking out of pure respect for the family and his friends.

I think everybody would have done the same. This is really nice! We left just before 10pm. We all had a great time... and some tears.
We gonna miss you Hector!

Was having some minor problems with my camera's memory card, so I was able to only recover a few images. My apologies.

Waiting in line at Irwindale Raceway.


Beings that it was Thursday night, many different cars were in attendance.


Almost to the front gate.


Hector's street car.
 

Plenty of love and respect.




And LOTS of food. Much thanks and kudos to all of the people that stepped it up & brought so many great things to eat/drink.


Panzers & Kampfwagens


Hector's cars went down the track and most people were holding candles. Sorry for the blurred image. I was trying to balance on a light pole, and also couldn't dial in my camera to the correct settings.
