ducatirider944 - Brad Neff HPT fall
« on: June 19, 2006, 09:15:38 AM »
In Thursday practice, Brad Neff, 121 MW AM took a fall and ended up into the wall.  He broke pretty much every bone on the right side of his body and some on the left, including shoulder, arm, all ribs on rt, 2 on left, pelvis, tib/fib, and he has a head injury.  Both his lungs collapsed, etc.

Bottom line, he didn't come out very well... 

I'm not sure where he's at right now, I believe that they took him to Topeka, but then  flew him to KC. 

If you've got room in a prayer, please think of him...

I am not sure about insurance.  He is self-employed, so I have no idea what's going to happen with him...

Someone that knows Brad please contact Dean at TrackAddix.  Call toll free 866-92-Track.  We are organizing a Wegman Fund raiser during our upcoming TrackAddix GP race weekend at MAM to benefit Brad Neff and Jason Thorson.  I know Jason and have contacts for him, but I don't know Brad.  I would appreciate it if someone close to him would give me a call.

Hi everybody.  I thought that I would give you an update on Brad.  Where to begin...

Brad went off the track in Turn five (the second of the two rights) and hit the concrete wall on the outside of the turn.  The details of the crash probably aren't important here.  Brad is at KU Medical in Kansas City.  He sustained a broken tib/fib on his right leg, broke all the ribs on his right side, right scapula, left arm, two left ribs, and multiple fractures to his pelvis.  He sustained some slight head damage and two collapsed lungs.

On to the good news.  Brad is on a ventilator for his lungs and his breathing is getting better.  He has no paralysis and Neurology hopes that his head will be fine.  The doctors have already put a steel rod in his leg and it looks very straight.  He is scheduled to go into surgery tomorrow to have his pelvis screwed back together and a plate put in his arm.  It will be a long road, but I am hoping that he will make a full recovery.

Jeff, thanks for the post on the board and the Wegman challenge.  Thanks to everybody else for their help this weekend, thoughts, and prayers.  Dean, I will give you a call tomorrow.

Now, who do I call to arrange adjoining rooms for Brad and Jason?
