Good Props

[tug296]

Great to see Nathan Hester Propped up on the ol Race show today.
 He's very fast and one of the nicest guys you could meet anywhere.
 We don't know him that well, but at Daytona in 2002 I think, he was pitted next to us in the asphalt pits. It was rainy, he had no trailer so he put his stuff in and under ours.
We were watching for him in some race, did not see him come around, went to check on him, found out that he and another rider had crashed in turn 1, the faster version, like just past the Tioval?
 I went to Infield Care Center, there he was all banged up, looked bad and grogged up.
Had to cut his Leathers off. He was by himself from Idaho, and had broken his Collar Bone, and had to go to Halifax Hospital for the night. His Bike was severely  totaled.
 My Wife and I were happy to be able to assist him.

Found his truck, got him some clothes to take to the Hosp., then drove his truck to the Motel for him, we were at the same place.

We always pull for him in the AMA wars, {and the Florida Guys}
Great to see him stick with it, doing well, getting propped up today and moving up steadily.
 Good Luck and Congrats on the upcoming new Kid.
Carry On.
