Ramsey El Wardani died while ONLINE.
"This is a little crazy but I found out that Ramsey passed while posting on RDC. He was found with his laptop open in front of him."
August 29, 2016
Ramsey El Wardani will be remembered at the newly announced October 9, 2016 - Memorial Drive!
UPDATE! Checkers cancels drive, see below
The Ramsey El Wardani Memorial Drive will be held
He croaked in Cabo. After wasting years trying to catch up to real adventurers!
The classic "El Wardani", the 2007 Baja 1000, he missed finishing by minutes. But, he always claimed "he won!". At a plaster city race, held by drive, he failed to refuel his racecar and ran out of gas. He never admitted the fail.
In 2008, El Wardani, citing SCORE attorney Oscar Ramos (Ramos died a couple years ago) that the Martz case was a 'hunting incident'. Crimes were committed covering up this racer shooting. The case proved SCORE will even commit crimes to continue its business in Mexico.
Oscar Ramos died of a fall at his home. Reportedly, he was drunk and died of the head injury sustained in the fall. On his ongoing F-Book page, a picture of a glass of wine, remains.
Ramsey El Wardani called himself an ironman. Insulting all actual 'ironman' desert racers.
There are so many classic Ramsey 'desert racer-isms'. He was a regular member of the 'race delusion cult', RDC.
After wedging himself up Roger Normans rectum for months after Norman 'bought' SCORE (Ramsey was hoping to be named the 'Race Director of SCORE) - when he found out Roger wasn't going to name Ramsey to anything, "El Wardani" constantly bad mouthed SCORE.
Greg Krasnow President of the club told us "Checkers Off-Road has nothing to do with this bulls***".
The previously announced memorial drive, has been cancelled. But, I spoke with Greg Bowen, who had just returned from Mexico. He said that there was a good chance that another October date would be the time for a Ramsey party/ celebration of life. Ride to be rescheduled at that time.
Sorry-I was in Mexico on vacation so I couldn't edit the story, Chris. 9-5-16

While you clearly had your differences, shame on you for so quickly and disrespectfully jumping at the opportunity to rejoice in the death of an actual human being with a family and friends that are devastated by his unexpected passing. If you had an ounce of compassion you would take this down before more mourners have the misfortune of stumbling upon it.
ReplyDeleteYou should be ashamed.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who would say all of this about someone who just died has some major mental issues. Whoever is moderating this should take it down. Please. He has family. The comments are evil.
ReplyDeleteI live here in Baja Sur dude. Next time I see you around be prepared Chris Raffo. I am going to knock your ass out right in front of everyone.. I promise you this and hope it is at a race..
ReplyDeleteI had my differences with Ramsey to at one point. But, I would NEVER have gone this far to disrespect his wife, kids and family like this.
This is one of the most disrespectful things I have ever read. You are a sorry excuse for a human. If you have any dignity left I would take this down, but I bet you wont.
ReplyDeleteRamsey's Brother just told me about this post. I don't believe that Chris Raffo wrote it. As a lifetime best friend of Ramsey's I would ask that whoever has control of this site please remove this trash out of respect for Ramsey and his friends and family.
ReplyDeleteOur obit writer Chris, has assured us that the subject of this obituary, Ramsey El Wardani, who is dead, did falsely claim to be an ironman. We've confirmed, he does not show up in the SCORE record books as actually finishing the 2007 Baja 1000.
ReplyDeleteThe El Wardani obituary does establish the facts of his passing. Nevertheless, BajaRacingNews.com doesn't want the racing community to think every racer talked and acted like Ramsey. We disagree with Chris about this part of the piece. Mr. Ruffo has refused to self remove the writing.
Therefore, we will be deleting this obituary.
We welcome the community comments and concerns until this writing is removed.

I'm not liked on that race desert bull shit.. It's for pussys! Just like any keyboard racing, this doesn't do any good either. There's a bunch of want to bee's, that can't race or can't finish a race. Ramsey was a good guy, keyboard racer yes, but a good person no matter what anyone has to say. He was more of a racer than most spoiled rotten bastards out there.
ReplyDeleteThen Gary remove this and ban this writer from posting on your blog ever again.
ReplyDeleteFor his own safety I think this is the best position to take.
