Man, sorry to hear about that Chuck. The ole thumb is kinda useful. If it was an index finger you could have done what Jim Fitzgerald did. Lop it off, sew it up, & make the next race.

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.
