Another James Dean

By now we've probably heard about the loss of Paul Walker yesterday afternoon. Early crash details were sketchy, pair that with a death hoax the day prior and finding any reliable information was difficult at best.

We now know the other occupant of the Carrera GT was Roger Rodas. If that name sounds familiar, you probably followed the Pirelli World Challenge where he raced a Boss 302 S. Reports say Roger was driving and Paul was the passenger.

Google drove past in Dec. 2011 and I understand the speed limit was raised to 45 MPH since then. A moot point, as the car exceeded the limit and knocked down that light post.
