RIP Cale Kastanek

Post by kyle.bowker »

I'm saddened to report that CDC member Cale Kastanek (#57) has passed away as a result of injuries sustained in a single-vehicle crash at a NASA Time Trial event held at Summit Point this past weekend. Cale last autocrossed with us on Saturday, July 5th, 2008 at Harry Grove Stadium, setting the 5th fastest time of the day in his 2001 Honda S2000, and he also participated in our Spring HPDE event at Summit Point Shenandoah Circuit as an instructor. Our condolences to his family and friends and all who knew him. He will be missed.
NASA wrote:The National Auto Sport Association (NASA) regretfully announces the passing of Cale Kastanek of Hagerstown, MD from injuries suffered as a result of an accident on November 9, 2008 at Summit Point Raceway in Summit Point, WV. Cale was a champion competitor, seasoned instructor, and great friend to many in the motorsports community and the NASA Mid Atlantic family. Cale was active in many forms of motorsports including Time Trial, autocross, and also many other activities related to his love of the Honda S2000. Cale was also a professional pilot and an avid mountain bike enthusiast. Cale will be missed sorely and we wish him Godspeed.
