Bill,
Having followed your racing exploits for the past couple of years, I really feel for you. I am glad your well enough to post on rennlist. I wish you a speedy recovery. It is so easy to forget how dangrous our hobby is. I hope to see you on the track next season!!

Bill, glad to see that you are upbeat about this. Hope your injuries aren't too serious and you are up and around quickly.

titanium's not all that bad, now stainless is heavy. In all seriousness get well soon!

Maybe I should go to Hopkins and get them to fill my right foot with lead.... now that sounds like the hot setup.

Hey, I just picked up a spare set of BBS wheels with titanium centers - so I guess I know where to go if I crack a wheel . . . scalpel!

Nice see you here, Bill, and good point on end-stage crash behavior...

As an aside, I have been hearing a lot about this in Potomac DE classroom this year - the point being made that you need to learn how to take a corner when you're in the 'wrong' place. Unfortunate that not everyone's gotten the memo yet.
