Remembering Mark...
I knew Mark Modaressi back to 2003. I wonder how many of the current members even know who he was or that he founded this place. Click on the mark modaressi icon on the top of the site if you care to know who founded this place.
Mark got me into the 2004 evolutionm time attack where my car took 3rd. He was killed 6 months later.
I wonder if he would still be proud of this place...
On a final note, who ever set up the memorial site: clean up the links...

I only met Mark once. I met him at a multi-forum meet in Maryland. All I can say is he was a great guy. I met him before I was part of the staff here. He thanked me for being a part of his forum. He took his time to talk to me through out the day to make sure me and my fiance at the time were having a good time. I would hope Mark would still be proud of EvoM. He started something great. He will alway be missed.

As far as I know, Ali (spt) still owns MarkModaressi.com, and he's no longer affiliated with EvoM (sold it last year.)
Mark is greatly missed. Quite a bit of the staff and user base who knew him (in the online sense) are still around.

My heart goes out to his friends and family.
