Prayers for Tigerblade

[Jack_Brock]

I just got wind of this and can't believe it.  Kris has been a great friend to me, and his parents are the best.  I hope everything turns out ok.  Shelby and I will be praying for you and your family.

Wanted to add my well wishes and hopes for a speedy recovery for Kris.

Hello everyone,

I'm Kris' girlfriend Sunny.  I'm so touched by the outpouring of thoughts and concern from the racing community.  Thank you so much.  I'll be going up to see Kris tomorrow, so if anyone wants to send me anything to print off for him, my email address is troxells@missouri.edu.  I think a group at fireblades.org is going to be setting up a "Give Kris a Dollar" fund, so when I get more information on that I'll pass it along.  Most of you know that the ambulance ride alone is hundreds.  Again, thank you for your prayers.

Sunny

Indeed!  Ride, probably $450 to $750.

Totally keep us up on everything...

And, of course, the Wegman Benefit fund is available too.  http://www.wegmanfund.org

This is the classic example of why it exists.  

And the community is here for support.

Oh man.  I raced/ traveled with Kris all summer.  I went back to MIssissippi for vet school and I just found out about this today.  Get well buddy!

Sunny,

Please email me directly about helping with the costs...   I'd like to see how the Wegman Fund could lend some assistance.

I just found out through the other post about this...I'm dumbfounded.  He has been moved to room D206, and was glad to hear the surgery went well.  Kris has been a great guy to have at the races.  Let me know if there is anything Mike or I can do to help.  We would be more than happy to.  

Get well buddy,

Update,

Just talked to Chris's Father Rex. He said the Surgery went very well and they are even planning to send the Physical therapist in to get him up walking later this afternoon!! Wow, he is as luck as you can be give the situation. He has a FX bone in his hand and they are planning on casting it soon also. then just a bruised leg and are beyond that.

Chris, Our thoughts are with you from Mike and Chuck at MC Racing. You have always been there for everyone when we needed help. So please do not hesitate to call on all of your friend with anything you or your family needs thoughout or following this event.

We are all pulling for you in this.

Mike

Just read this. Thank god for the Wegman fund. Kris, get well soon. I'm so relieved to hear that it wasn't worse, although, bad enough. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

What a terrible crash this is...........   :-/  As others have said, thankfully he turned out much better than it could easily be.  Speedy recovery!

It was the last lap of Am LWSS. He was going into the kink before turn 7 with a couple of other bikes when they came up on a lapper. He didn't think he could make it through and went off the track. He ended up in the weeds but I don't know the details of the crash. Anyone see what happened? Cornerworkers? Kim, have you heard anything?

Kevin, I was working in turn 7 on sunday. There was an ambulance sent to turn 6/main gate sunday that I can remember. Only thing I can recall happening near the kink was a guy ran off track in the weeds before 6a (the tower at the kink) but that guy apparently walked away.
