Any update on David Yeski?

[Team_nuclear123]

The truck is pretty cool

Diesel Dynamics tuned with about 450hp, exhaust all the goodies. (I started out a Peterbilt tech years ago)

Lowered like 8inches, DVD, 1000watts, all flamed, shoudl be cool... Just need to get it bagged to haul our 26ft trailer.

Dave, its at Thunderhill. It will be Tristans first time there. I just got his new leathers from Alpinestars fed ex yester, way cool! Shoudl be a good weekend, and a hell of a lot less races... We did 18 total at Vegas in three days. You DONT want to see the tire bill!

Why would anyone do this?  Why take a perfectly good truck and destroy it?  I'm not talking the stereo and dvd, etc, but why lower it and remove any hauling ability the truck had?

Sure you can put in airbags, but I still don't understand taking a truck designed to haul/tow and dropping it to the pavement, then making provisions so it can tow again...

Well, lets see, ruin it huh?

I load about 400 different bikes a year in my truck. We do somewhere around 50 trrack days a year.

Lowered serves the purpose of making it easier to load, safer to drive, and has ZERO effect on the load carring ability, as the stock springs are in place all around.

More like built to a purpose to me.

Best wishes for a quick recovery for Dave.  

[Decreasing_Dave]

Thanks for the well wishes everyone.  :)

I'm sore, but I'll recover...mostly.  I guess a herniated disc is like herpes, you got it fo' life man.

Right now my diet consist of Oxycotton, Percocet, and Soma (muscule relaxer).   I get to wear a back brace too.

After the 12 hour ride home (should have been 10, but the F-I-L was driving)  I ended up BACK in the hospital on Tuesday (via ambulance) 'cuz it hurt to do anything and I couldn't move.  

This puts a reality spin on whether I should continue racing or not.  Tough call.  I have a 2 year old to live for and I would like to be able to play with her for the rest of her life.  Sorry for the pitty party, but I just missed being shoulder deep into the concrete blocks by 6 inches.  :-/  I never thought that the blocks and the fence were a factor 'til then.

I ended up with a Herniated disc between L3 and L4, 2 broken ribs on my back (11 and 12, I think), and although they didn't confirm, I think I have damaged ribs in my upper lft chest (at least bruised if not broken).

If you guys are up for the details, I'll get them to you on a different posting.

Thanks again for the well wishes.

I know what broken ribs are like.  No fun at all.  You quickly realize how EVERY movement you make involves stress on the ribs....OW!

Hang in there man!

Dave, I hope you heal fast and feel better. I know you feel, both your body and your head. I was a bit more fortunate, broke pelvis but not ribs, so as long as I was laying in bed, nothing hurted. But as I was lying in the ambulance, I thought of all the good things I would have missed if I broke my spine... kinda make you think long and hard about racing.

But I took my crazy ass out again and got smushed again... well what can you say

Just get well, and think about all others later. I was looking forward to racing in Daytona
