Sorry I am late to post, but I just got back into the country.

I hate to see this and I'm not sure what happened, but I hope all involved are ok or heal quickly.  Especially Dave who sounds like he was severly injured.  I hope you fully recover and soon-best wished on a speedy recovery!

I don't usually post on forums - as you can tell by my "number of posts"! But, I had to send my racing buddy Dave a great big Get Well Soon message! Hope that your back on the track soon. (Sorry that this is so late. But first I had to register then verify my e-mail, etc., etc.) It sounds like you're doing much better. That's great news! I'm not very good with a computer, but maybe I can send you a picture for some motivation. I think that I have one of my rear tire somewhere that should bring back some memories for you!!! :thumb: (It's even a picture that you took!)

I spoke with Dave today and he is in good spirits but a bit of pain. He said his medication choices are "out cold" or "excruciating pain".  :err:

He is out of ICU and he hopes to be heading home this weekend.

Latest update on Dave:

I talked to Sheri this morning and things are looking promising for Dave.  They moved him from intensive care last Thursday and he has been in a regular hospital room for the past couple of days.  There is rumor that he may be able to go home sometime today.  Looks like he will have a full recovery!  The major portion of his injuries involved his kidney.  Yes, that's right, I said kidney, not kidney(s).  Many of you may not be aware that several years ago Dave donated one of his kidneys to his Mother.  Pretty serious, when you damage your only remaining kidney.  The kidney seems to be healing fine and slowly returning to its normal functions.  Other internal injuries have resolved themselves with the exception of 3 cracked ribs, which will take some time to heal.  I don't think we'll be seeing any hardy belly laughs coming from Dave for awhile!  On behalf of all of us at TrackAddix we wish you a speedy recovery Dave!  We look forward to seeing you behind the camera again soon.

To all the rest of the racers out there....please be cafeful!  Remember, your body will heal itself but it costs money to fix your bike!  :thumb:

Dave just called, he's home, still not feeling like doing cartwheels but definitely on the mend and things are looking good for a full recovery.  He won't be driving for a week or so due to the meds, so probably just getting intimately acquainted with his couch and remote control for a while.  This is a huge improvement from being flown in a chopper less than a week ago!  :thumb:

 I don't know you Dave but I've raced (behind) you several times.
Great to hear that you're home!

Dave, glad to hear that you're home and on the mend! Sorry that I won't be racing against you at Road America (well, maybe not that sorry - I need all the points that I can get in the Midwest LWSS championship!), but maybe I'll see you at Hastings. If you have the chance, send me an email or PM and let me know how you're doing.
