I met Andrew in 1999 when I joined the Track Toys racing club. My first impression of this larger than life 20 year old was that this was one over confident, out of control hell raiser. I quickly became close to "Krimpet" as he was known and we enjoyed drag racing and hardcore partying on many occassions. I was always amazed that this wild "kid" would give an old guy like me the time of day, but we got along great and became close friends.
Krimpet was killed while driving his beloved Cobra in the rainy early morning hours of Sunday, September 1, 2002. Nobody is absolutely sure what happened but my friends and I have lost a good friend - I feel like I lost a little brother.
This is the life we lead. My friends and I all drive too fast on the street from time to time in high powered Mustangs, never really realizing that we could actually lose it all.
You red-lighted Krimp - you left us way too early.
He was my friend.
I'm really gonna miss him
