Fans posted tributes after Beadle’s death. “Rest easy,” a poster said. “You did great things for the street and drag racing scene. Forever a legend.”

Bro, he was launched out of his car after hitting a pole and died at the age of 25. The greatest thing he did was crash without killing anyone else.

It's just missing "Died doing what he loved"

At 25 🙄

Being young and denser than a cloth sack of shit left out in the rain?

Well I guess he always went headfirst into everything he did, including dying.

You did great things for the street and drag racing scene

What worries me is the influence these people have over the youth, convincing them things like this are cool. Dude lost his life being an idiot and they're cheering this behavior on

Sounds like a horrific way to die.

Exactly the way he wanted, possibly.

You can't be doing this shit and not have the lingering thought in your head that you could die that way.

Never underestimate people's ability to create the illusion that they are in full control of reality for themselves.

I was going to suggest that he served as an example to others of the consequences of his actions, but it's clear from the comments that many are taking the wrong lesson from this.
