    So sad to hear this. It was a somber day at VIR on Sunday. Thoughts and prayers out to Tori's family and friends.

    I was honored to have raced against him last year. Great kid.

    I met Toriano's father at the AMA Road America race and spoke with him for quite some time. His father nick-named him "Animal" When Toriano was real little, his father use to throw him across the room to a bed or coach. Then little Toriano would jump up, run charging at his dad screaming like a animal wanting more. His father didn't know me from atom, but here he was talking for about half an hour about how proud he was for his son and his accomplishments. This really broke my heart . God speed Toriano. Plus a prayer for his father, who must be beyond words how devistaded he is.

    I cant express how sorry i am for for young Toriano, his family and everyone that was involved with him. I have never met him, but by your post, he sounded like a really fun, smart and talented person. Like Sean said, if you or the family needs anything, just say the word. If the family needs donations or anything, im sure we can get something set up.

    My thoughts and prayers are with his family/friends/crew and anyone that has had the privilege of knowing or meeting this young man.

    I just thought I would post the link for you all. For Toriano Wilson it did not end well. Sad sad day!

    I am good friends with Toriano's manager and got the chance to meet him and his brother on Saturday. What a special kid! His manager asked for everyone to think about his family to help them get through this tough time.

    Very sad news.... He seemed like a great kid always seemed to be smiling.

    Here's a couple photos from the Sears races Toriano with Leandro Mercado in front of the red bull tent and him walking back to the pits after saving a highside in T9 then losing the front in the dirt.

    I'm sure I have a few from on track as well if Alex or the family wants them I can send them your way.
