Dan Ortega (DanO966) injured at Cycle Jam , Road Atlanta

[Jeff]

It's such a tough thing.  I mean, on one hand, the LAST place I want to die is on the track because I don't want my wife, kids, family and friends to be left with a bad taste for my passion.  Yet on the other hand, while everyone would be sad but 'understand' if I were to rot away from the inside out courtesy of cancer, I don't think that would be a preferred exit package.

BTW, sorry for jacking your 'get well' thread DanO...

Thanks man and heal up soon Dan.

Just spoke to Dan at 1:40pm today.  He sounds great and in good spirits.  His is planning to be discharged on Wednesday after he has his skull fragment put back in place.  Dan is planning to be at Blackhawk this coming weekend. 

My sympathies to the friends and family of a fellow racer, Chris.

See you soon, Dan!

He's going to be at Blachhawk? Wow! I'm sure he's not going to be riding, but that's awesome news about the recovery. Trooper!
