Title: John Fox crash at Gingerman
Post by: GSXR RACER MIKE on August 03, 2004, 08:56:10 PM
     I just found out that John Fox crashed hard at Gingerman at the last event and suffered a compression fracture in his lower back!  :'( I wish him the best in recovery as this is ending his season. John was supposed to be going with Paul James and myself to Barber for the upcoming event and was very much looking forward to it.

     I will see if I can find out an address to send well wishes and such. John's a great guy, I really hated to hear that this happened to him.

Hate to hear that.   :(

John's been beating me all year and I was hoping to be up there with him at Barber and Blackhawk.  I've only talked to him and Julian a little bit but they seem like good guys.  Keep us posted.   :-/

Man that sucks, I went over and talked to him after his crash and he said he was sore but apparently it was more than that.

Wish him a speedy recovery from me.

Ouch.  I feel for him.  I received the exact same injury 3 years ago at BHF.  I hope that he gets well quickly.

I wish that I had know it ends your season.  I raced the next day and the rest of the year.  I walked funny for 2 months because of it...

It's a bad deal for John. He was having a fantastic season and would have likely won multiple championships.

I don't think he even lurks on the board and I'm not sure if he would want his address posted, but if anyone wants to send him an email, I can forward it to him.

John,

I wish you a speedy recovery.. I hate to see our GT Lights and Lightweight GP battles stop, and by no means is that how I wanted to take over the championship.

Get well soon,
