NEWEST INFORMATION!​

TO ALL VENDORS: If you are interested in making some kind of donation we can raffle in honor of "Saladbar" please feel at liberty to contact me by PM and we can get on the phone and workout any details.



GOD BLESS OUR HOMIE!​



The plans as of this evening are as follows:

Friday Dec. 4th - A "Celebration of Life"

(No place and time as of yet but in the Collin County area of DFW and in the late afternoon/early evening as a baseline)

Saturday Dec 5th - Cruise and Photo Shoot/Track Day

I am firming up plans as of now to organize the final spot. Trying to workout a track as our ending place and have a track day in Shawn's honor.

The cruise starting point is:
Momentum Race Group
1620 E HWY 121 Business
Suite #800, building "B"
Lewisville, TX 75056

For convenience I am trying to make it Denton (Northstar Dragway).

I will up date this thread with details as they develop. We are making Stickers, T-shirts and a PAYPAL account for donations. It appears there is gonna be some amount of debt and expenses to settle after all is said and done. The PAYPAL account is being setup by Shawn's closest lifelong friend that is for the sake of translation the executor of Shawn's estate.

As I know I will get details to this thread to keep all informed and in the loop. This is an absolutely devestating situation for Shawn's roommates not to mention the giref his mother is enduring.

This is a quote of Shawn's roommates post on DFWStangs. Shawn had been an antagonist on the board for over a decade representing the BOWTIE NATION. Shawn was a great asset to the board and always represented the BOWTIE NATION with the best of behavior and the upmost of respect for the other posters (wish I could say the same for myself by the way I post, HERE EVEN). Shawn and his core circle have been on that board for years and have many many close friends that will be joining us for the CELEBRATION and CRUISE!

Miss you brother........

Shawn's roomie McKinney here and it appears some type of flu/pnuemonia took Shawn away from us all. As everyone can imagine Shawns family is in total shock.

His family is adamant to have more of a "celebration of life" than a memorial. We hope to have final details soon, aiming for the "celebration" to be Monday November 30th and a follow up cruise on Saturday December 5th, perhaps at North Star? Can someone from North Star pm me, please? Maybe Ennis?

Thoughts as of tonight; have a central location meet spot at Momentum Race Group, right near Business HWY 121 and 35:

1620 E HWY 121 Business
Lewisville, TX 75056

Then cruise over to a track and have a track day on behalf of Shawn aka "Saladbar"

I would also like to setup a paypal account to help towards Shawn's family.
More details to follow . . .

McKinney


Mods can you make this a SSticky for Saladbar?
Attached a jpeg of the OFFICIAL SALADBAR decal and T-shirt logo. Those that met him at the Nats are all too familiar with his PET MONKEY. Well we all agreed at my BRIDE's suggestion that the Monkey be the central theme in remembering Shawn. I personally love the idea and the logo Jordan came up with.

Thank You So Much!

To everyone:
I appreciate everything you are doing for Shawn, little did I know that when he was young and helped me work on my car that he was going to become the mechanical genius he was. I am Shawn's Father and I just felt I needed to let you know about the Salazar side of his family. We raised Shawn in El Paso, TX and he has 3 brothers, a sister and 2 nephews, not to mention Aunts, an uncle & cousins. He lived here 20 years of his life before he went to live in Dallas. We were very close & we are also devastated by his loss. I knew when he went to Dallas to live, he was going to have a great adventure & meet new people. I am very proud of the man he became. The last 12 years of his life, he obviously made many great friends who cared very deeply for him who he himself spoke very highly of every time he came home to visit us here in El Paso. I want you to know we all truly appreciate what all his friends are doing. We are looking forward to going to Dallas for his celebration. If you would like to know anything about Shawn's earlier years, please email me at [email protected]. We had already made our yearly Xmas plans with Shawn and the reality of his loss is going to really hit us hard when he's not here.
Thanks again,
George Salazar (Shawn's Father)
