    Just to let you know that Adam Flamholc is OK after a horrible crash at NHRA at Gateway. He is at the hospital and they say he has a broken arm.The car was in the left lane and drifted to the center then the car did what appears to be an abrupt left turn and the biggest impact to the wall was with the back end of the car which I think was good. The whole body came off the car and they say he barrel rolled eleven times. I will let you all know more when I find out. This is the first race I did not go to with him due to prior commitments. Do I feel bad.

    Glad to hear the damage was mainly cosmetic. At least he's up and around so you can sign his cast.

    Whoever built that car deserves some big time credit, a huge crash and great news that Adam is basically OK.

    Mike, best wishes to you too, even if you were on the start line apart from pray there was nothing you could do.

    Thanks Geoff. The car was built by G-Force and it is pretty amazing how the cage stayed together. A lot of credit goes to those SFI specifications we cuss about. The car had that NHRA crash recorder in it so it will be interesting what they can do with the data.
