Two men died yesterday morning in a single vehicle crash on Bouquet Canyon Road in North Los Angeles county. So far only the passenger has been identified: Ray Silver also well-known in the LA Covette, car, and track community as "C6 Ray". Ray was about 72 and was well-liked. The identification of the C7 driver is unknown at this time. The accident occurred during a monthly "run" by one of the local Corvette groups.

I've known Ray for about five years and he was a good guy and a real character. He will be missed.

Viper owners in the area will be advised that this incident will likely increase law enforcement awareness of group "runs", and well it should. We have many good racetracks in and around metropolitan Los Angeles and they are the proper venue for aggressive driving.
