One of the men charged in the racing accident that resulted in the death of a local teenager will see a judge in December. Wednesday afternoon, family and friends came together in memory of the victim.
Eighteen-year-old Brittany Engleman's life was cut short last October in a drag racing accident along Route 42 in Augusta County near Buffalo Gap High School.
Loved ones say they're patiently awaiting the outcome of each case for the three men involved. A tight-knit group gathered at the spot where the accident occurred to read poems, share memories, and show support.
Brittany's mother, Tammy Harris, says justice needs to be served in the name of her daughter.
"Whatever should happen, maybe somebody would think twice, or be more careful out on the road, use more caution, another family wouldn't have to go through this," says Harris.
Three men were charged in the incident. Robert Gaylor's jury trial is to begin August 18 and Cory Beasley's trial is set for August 26. Torrance Mack's jury trial date was set Tuesday for December 10.

Today was a big smack to the face, lets just tell these kids its ok to go out and race,( I personly think the jury wanted to get home for supper) that was way to quick. But them again they didn't burie the best friend either. Im so sorry Brittany. And the way the girl ran out of the court throwing her arms in the air and yelling Yay. Clearly states what type of people you are dealing with.
To Sherry...yes I can say the same. I think about her every day before I go to bed and every day when I wake up. I guarantee I think about her MUCH more everyday than you do. I would bet my life on that. You have no idea what it feels like. You truly do not know.
Brittany was the type of person you only run across once in a life time. She could have made this would a better place, she had so much to offer. She was not only beautiful on the outside, but inside as well. She had such a love for butterflies, carebears and the color purple. She never meet a stranger. She could lift you up no matter how bad your day was. She could make you laugh and forget the world around you. She loved her family and friends with all she had. Brittany would have went far in life. She cared about everything and everybody. Its impossible to let go of someone like that. It was so beautiful to see that purple and black butterfly flying around us as we rememberd Britt. I know she is still with us. We will do all we can to keep Brittany's memory alive. Thank you to the great job Keith Jones did and covering this. Tammy, Danny, Courtney, Caleb,Nanny and Grandaddy and Kathy you will always be in our hearts and prayers. Brittany loved you whole heartedly.
