I will continue to pray for you and your family. I'm 44 and we're the same age. So, yes, things like this aren't supposed to happen, but when they do we feel empathy/sympathy for one another. I've never met you, but feel like I know you as well as several others on this board. I wouldn't know any of y'all if I walked past you in Wal-Mart. But, we here, at Lat-G are a close knit, unofficial family. Take care brother and I know you're a fighter...so stay strong. GOD bless.

Thanks Marcus! I appreciate your sympathy. It does hit close to home when it's someone you know and they are about your age. I'm sure you see and hear about stuff all the time in your field. Speaking of, thank you for what you do! When I was in the hospital for 4 days, I constantly thanked the nurses for doing what they do...there's no way I could do that! I'll work on your car, fix something around the house or build you something from a block of material, but no way am I working on another human!
I totally agree about the family thing. I've met more nice people in this hobby/industry/circle than any other place before. Some of what I call my best friends, I've only known 3-4 yrs in total, and only see them 2-4 times a year. The amount of support has been mind blowing to say the least. Humbling for sure!

You know what's crazy? Been so long since I updated here, I flipped thru the whole post to see where I was at. I ran across that and had EXACTLY the same thought!
I will be more than happy, if I can, give any relevant pointers. Like you mentioned, the track surface is new and may change a few things. Should be 2-3 secs faster I'd say....so, no excuses! Good luck, so bummed I can't be there this year. Sticky side down! Oh, and I soooo got this!
