Fellow member 2009Kawasaki, or Vincent Varilek of South Dakota was killed in a motorcycle Wreck. I was building him a 318 stroker for his car. Its a 67 Coronet 4 door, and he planned on Drag racing, and street sleeping with it. I hadent heard from him in a week, and He was VERY good about calling me on progress. Well Its 99% done and he was killed. I had to Google his name, to find out the tragic news. I spoke with his Grandmother, and They want me to Sell the stroker, and put in a stock 318 as they do not want anymore bad things happenng. So I might be posting a stroked 318 with All the goods on here.
I was very shocked, and I still cant stop shaking, Just found out over my noon hr, and imediatly called his grandmother. She was a VERY sweet gal, and said Vince spoke the world of me, Made me feel a little better about the situation. I dont know what to do right now. He was so ammped about getting this done, Its gonna feel wierd to finish the car without the big engine.

Terrible loss, and for the last week I have told my wife, friends, and family there has to be something wrong, I havent heard from Vince.

Another mopar man killed by an 80 year old man pulling out in front of him while he was enjoying a ride on his Kawasaki.


Rest in Peace BUDDY!!!
