A moment of silence. There has been a tear in the continuim

Per one of the guys who had cars there.

“ Many people rented space there. My stuff was in Bay 3. A few of the other things people had in the bay were several antique cars, a Lotus Europa, two or three Datsun 510 racecars, several Spec Miatas, another FF , a late model stock car and a kart team. And that is just part of what was in one of 20 bays in the warehouse. The strip club in the other end of the building seems to be ok so far.”

It is always a sad moment to realize so much cool and unique stuff is gone forever. And even just the monetary loss alone has to hit some of these guys pretty hard.

ashes to ashes, dust to dust...   

Full of the sound of the Gran Fury, signifying nothing. > RacinBob 04/17/2020 at 01:20

Damn. I saw the smoke on my way home from the South County Costco and wondered what it was. I'm sorry to see it was this, but I'm thankful that nobody seemed to be hurt.

Bummer. I knew of the place and visited a friend that raced a neon and was putting together a s2000 there. That was 10+  years ago.

As soon as I seen it on Twitter, I knew how many cars were there and tools that guys had. It’s sad.

I don’t recall there being any when I was there years ago.

Never mind, they are in the photo above.

You’re all good. I can  see this getting messy if the renters or insurance expected those to work.
