SLOWPOKE goes short course racing

[NTCPrezJB]

Welp, bad news..... I got hit in my service truck by a loaded box truck this morning and I'm not in any shape to go race now.😔 Ended up with 2 broken fingers and a sprained wrist on my left hand (I'm left handed) and the rest of me feels like I got hit by a truck. This blows, I was really looking forward to this weekend....

That blows. I've broken several fingers and toes numerous times and my tail bone only once. Hopefully you had no compound breaks. They taped my fingers and toes together, instructing me to take it a little easier and have a nice life. Never thought about laughing or coughing until breaking my tail bone. Also had a motorcycle kick back and break my shin. Anyway, sure glad you weren't hurt worse or hangin on the other side. Have a speedy recovery and hope you get to feeling better. I'll keep you in my thoughts

I broke my tail bone snow boarding up in NH in my early 20s and to this day (I'm 48 now) it is the worst pain and most uncomfortable injury I've ever had. I don't think I slept or sat down the first week and life generally sucked for a while.

Having a messed up dominant hand and being a specialized heavy equipment mechanic is going to be a problem for the next month or so. Bosses are going to have heart attacks tomorrow when I give them the bad news.

On the positive side I found a replacement truck at the dealership we bought the original truck from down in Houston. We need a new truck quickly and this one is in stock.....

Wrecks are NEVER convenient! Hope recovery is quick as can be. Looking forward to seeing you kick a$$ in two classes this season!

Dang I am sorry to hear that Slowpoke. Praying for a good and quick recovery. That really sucks to go through!

I want you to know that I am willing to take one for the team and come down to Texas and race your Talon for you so it keeps going. I wouldn’t offer that to just anyone!!!🫣🤪😂🤣

The new service truck looks nice!!😊

@SLOWPOKE693 , how are you feeling today? I guess you’ll have to transfer all of your tools to the newer service truck? Excellent time to clean and sort, if there ever is a good time. Get well soon. 🙏🙏

Still sore AF. I'm out of work for at least 4 to 6 weeks while my hand heals, and I have other Dr appointments for my shoulder and knee that don't feel so great. I should know more next week once I've gone and seen all the doctors
