whew what a day saturday was, we were havin a great run until the last lap of second heat where i hit something big while in ashcrafts dust. that sent me over i think once and then on my lid then back on wheels, the cap was ripped off the coolant recovery tank which is what caused me to take a not so pleasant bath. i ended up with second degree burns to my back, neck, left wrist and right hand. i dont really remember a whole lot other than the ride to the hospital with my dad and jimmy nuckles in jimmys truck, i do remember jimmy going at least 120 as i think we outran someone in black and white. i am lucky that some of my friends watched it happen and were right there to help me out after it happened, as i was in shock from burning and just taking a hard hit. i cant thank larry wyatt and miles enough for their quick reactions and getting my soaked suit off of me. those guys helped a lot, thanks again. the car is in pretty good shape, little cosmetic damage. they are already working on it and changed the location of the coolant recovery tank so this doesn't ever happen again. we should be ready for the mdr superstition race no problem. not sure if i will be able physically from the burns but i am mentally ready to go again. thanks everyone as i have had a ton of calls and emails of support this week. special thanks to my crew, family , and friends for taking care of me and getting the car ready for the next one. thanks again and see you all in october!
