As most of you saw Monday, June 28, 2010, around noon there was an accident on I-15 which caused the freeway to be shut down. The reason for the closure was a fatal car accident, one in which a vehicle ended up against a barrier then heading backwards colliding with a sign pole. The driver of the vehicle was removed from the vehicle by passers by, one of which tried to administer CPR. The driver of the vehicle was 27 year old Tony Khanhnara. He was a member of this forum(Yayo), a friend to me, and many others, and family to Frank and Kel. Tony was born May 20, 1983 in Layton, Utah. He graduated from Clearfield High School in 2001. Tony was attending SLCC. He was a man of few words at most meets, but in a small crowd would light up a dark room with wisdom, witty remarks, and just random banter. He was deep into the import scene "back in the day," but had put the car things to the side to further his education and take care of his son, Thaivone. After getting settled into a good job at Associated Foods, he had decided to get back into the game, as we all refer to it, as if people who leave the honda world are "in retirement." He had huge goals for his hatchback, and we discussed them often, as if to get each other motivated to get our cars going. Tony will be missed and remembered by everyone he met. Enjoy heaven with Billy, but hopefully you two leave some of the good stuff for the rest of us.
