I was one of the cornerworkers in 5. Immediately after the accident, we asked for the session to be stopped (red flag) because there was a rider and bike on the track. Immediately after that an ambulance was called. The ambulance that responds to T5 is rolled from victory circle-so it takes some time. If you have a problem with the way the incident played out - Feel free to PM me or email me at [email protected]. I'm sure you could have done better so why don't you come and help out??(although in my opinion it was a textbook call and response), This doesn't belong in this thread. T, my sister Kumi (captain 5 that day) Kuala76, my sister Amy (pickup 5) and I (Lori, Flagger 5) All wish you the very best, and hope for a speedy recovery. Can't wait to see you back in the pits joking around.
I owe myself $20. I knew someone was going to take this personally. I'm not filing a complaint or writing my congressman. Have you ever seen those movies where someone is waiting for something to happen and every second on the clock seems to take 5 minutes, and the bead of sweat gets bigger and bigger until it's the size of a mini cooper? That's all I was trying to say - Race Dir. hit it on the head - time seemed to stand still. Regarding helping out - been there - I worked that exact corner myself several years ago. I didn't mean to give you a paper cut and pour lemon juice on it.
Hey all!! All still the same. The Doctors are frustrating terrance and he has told 5 or 6 nurses that he doesnt want to have to give them a black eye! They are planning on surgery Friday. They will be fusing the vertebrate back together. NSDQ as a spectator it always seems like forever. A few years back I watched Terrance crash in six in the rain. He was out for a few seconds, but watching it seemed like 10 minutes. I caught it on tape, he watched it back and it really wasnt as long as I had orginally thought! Always the case. Thank you everyone again for your thoughts and prayers. Terrance seemed somewhat surprised that so many people were thinking of him. Thanks again. Shauna
Hey T, Sorry to hear about all that your having to go through. I'll be praying for you, and if there's anything that we can do from NC please let us know. John & Philip Hart (894 & 896)

T again get well soon, if you need anything let me know i will do my best to help out in anyway...... by the way how did it happen to T what turn?
Yo T, thru it all man, I hate to hear of your incident, but at the same time, glad to hear that we aren't speaking of you in the past tense!!! You know our past, so take this to heart, I wish you a speedy recovery man and if I can help in any way, you know where I am! UP AND AT 'EM!
I tried to call Shauna this morning but no answer. I'm planning on driving down their tomorrow to see the twinkie.
Thinking good thoughts today for you, T, for your surgery! Hoping everything goes perfectly and you'll be all healed up and good to go in no time!
I just spoke with Shauna and T's surgery is scheduled for 2 or 3pm this afternoon. Doctors did not tell her how long the procedure will be. SClark and I will be going over there tonight to check in on them both and deliver the mail. JLG
I'll have my phone with Web Access, so I'll read the BBS to him. Thus, fill this with any thoughts you have for him.
If he has surgery this PM then you won't be reading him anything! It may be tomorrow before he remebers his name! Tell him we are still praying for him!
