“One of Kyle’s favorite places was I-29 Dragway. It’s our local 1/8 mile drag strip, and the home to our yearly charity event, the Ice Cream Cruise. The whole crew has spent countless hours at the track, and have had some of the best times there,” 1320Video wrote.
“It has come to our attention that there will be a lot of fans going to I29 Dragway this Saturday evening to honor Kyle, be with other fans of 1320, and enjoy the car culture Kyle loved,” added the post. “Though we appreciate every single person’s love and support, but we have to make clear, this is not a 1320Video sanctioned event. We WILL be having our own memorial event later for Kyle in the future, and everyone will be invited; please just give us some time.”
1320Video now calls itself “the largest streetcar media company in the world” with over 3.87 million followers on its YouTube channel.
