I really feel sorry for Mike. He needs the operation on that hand to allow the use of the other 4 fingers.
It's truly sad to see him trying to wave at the camera and unable to extend his other fingers.


Seems others at the table have that same affliction. So sad.

I am suprised that hat did not have a tire tread across it. It blew off his head on 28 durring the "monster roll out". Then before lunch he was able to track it down and re-capture it.

It was viral. Only solution is to put Mike down. Don't smile...it saddens me deeply to pay a professional to do the deed. Good bye Mike...good bye good friend.

Here are some of my photos. Unfortunately, it seems most of my pictures were of the unfortunate events (motorcyclist being heli-vaced from the cherohala skyway and the scion that took a nose dive into the ditch).





Looks like you got pics of all three unfortunate events.

Who was in the NFR behind me on the The Dragon for the Roll out?

It looked like you were filming. Were ya?

I was in the GPW w/ the Carbon Fiber Hardtop. (We were in the second fastest group)

Jus wanted to check out the Video if you were filming
I was filming, but it was to my rear. Sorry! GREAT looking car by the way! I'll put it up eventually, but it's 700mb right now.
