The car is not too badly damaged. Right front corner and repair to the rear to A-arm mount and the car will be back on the track. I just went to a Hand Surgeon this morning....surgery is scheduled for Wednesday to clean up the break and insert some screws and pins. Unfortunately, I have had to withdraw from Homestead. Kershaw is looking to be out of the question and Savannah may be doubtful. It will take much more than a broken thumb to keep me off the track for too long.

Is he alright? How soon will he be able to get back? Was the car damaged severely? I think this is more important right now than participation numbers. Capt.
