Ramsey's last post...

[dan200]

I'm sorry to say this afternoon I was informed that's our own Ramsey El Wardini has passed away. Peacefully by natural causes.

Some folks have already reached out to his wife and I will post up any info I get about how to go providing his family with assistance in this terrible time. I ask others do the same.

I know this was a man who has touched many of our lives. We lost a good one here. I thought that maybe you all could share some of your Ramsey stories about one of the saltiest most hardcore off roaders to ever walk the earth. Let's celebrate this mans life. He truly was one of a kind and "smarter than dirt".

Godspeed Ramsey.

Wow! I'm totally shocked! I was not expecting to come on here and see this. Was Ramsey here in the States or at his other home in Baja? I guess this is more proof of never taking anything for granted, as you just never know when its your time to go home. Ramsey had so many little projects going, and I'm sad to think of all the things we will not see finished.

Please let everyone know if there will be a memorial service for him and when.

God Speed Ramsey!

This sucks big time. He was one of the biggest poop talkers but in the end he would help anyone anytime.

He was a badass and him soloing the Baja 1000 to Cabo in his single seat 1600 will go down as one of the most badass things anyone ever did in Baja IMO!

RIP Ramsey thanks for all your help over the years ;(

So bummed. Ramsey was a badass behind the wheel. RIP.

We're in shock here, saw him and Jan yesterday at his shop as they were leaving for the airport to go back to Mex. It makes you really think about your mortality when this happens to a warrior like Ramsey. We love you and will miss being aggravated by you. Your friend and racing partner

Are those Rough Country shocks rebuildable or sealed?

Ramsey's last post on RDC this morning at 6:40am.

Really!! He's talking about Rough Country shocks? I would feel better if it was a smart ass comment! Every time I would run into him around town, his first comment to me was a smart ass comment. Even Ramsey would admit he would not want his last post to be talking about Rough Country shocks! LOL!

Smarter then Dirt!

I'm so sorry to hear this. Life is so short and fragile.
Vaya con Dios Ramsey.

The hot wheels style short bus in my avatar was a gift to me from Ramsey. He drove all the way to my house to give it to me. Amazing man.

Race in peace Ramsey, I'll always remember him, with some great advice, nice to talk etc, he offered my first ride in a big race car at plaster city testing the Chevy class 8.

Will be missed for sure

A few years ago Ramsey donated the co dog seat in his trophy lite to be auctioned off to raise money for fast-aid. Then he bid on the seat so he "wouldn't have some idiot in the truck with him."

Dude was amazing.

had some disagreements with him at times but i had a lot of respect for him..a racer's racer...sorry to hear the news

 

[fishd00d]

I have my own theory I'm going with.

He faked his own death, is collecting his life insurance and will be living in Baja somewhere on the beach with no worries, no bad days, and no one ever bothering him again. He will venture trackside every Baja race somewhere and just be sitting there with a drink in hand watching as the racers go by with no idea who's watching them.

At least I like that theory a lot more and Ramsey is the one dude I know who would totally do this!!

Can someone private message me Contact info for Jan. I live down here in Cabo. Only have Ramsey's cell.
Want to make sure she doesn't need any help right now.

 

[partybarge_pilot]

Huge bummer.

 

[randy s]

one of the things i'll remember was getting congratulations from him after we won our class in the baja 500 on a particularly gnarly course starting dead last in the field
..coming from him it was big and i'll never forget it..

 

[Ol' Curmudgeon]

Godspeed.

Pretty floored right now. Ramsey and I have became good friends since we both moved to Cabo at the same time. But, before we were traditional internet enemies. First meeting face to face racing the 2013 Baja 1000 together in Class 6. All our internet beef went away at the driver change and giving them the run down.

I think I gained some respect afterwards here in Baja Sur after last years Coyote 300. As we talked on the regular more and started seeing each other at local events.

Very sad right now and hope I can get in touch with Jan to help out anywhere I can down here.
