Tom, Thank God for protecting you through such a life altering event. Like you said we all love this sport and the reason we do it is because of the danger it presents. The Adrenalin rush keeps us wanting more like a drug. Once you have the addiction it's hard to kick the habit. Good luck with your recovery. It sounds like you are already headed to a speedy recovery. Half the battle is attitude !!!!!!

Hi guys, just thought I'd give you an update.
This Saturday, will be 8 weeks since the crash. Went back to work on Monday. Long finger, ring finger have had pins removed. They will be the easiest to recover in therapy. Index finger may need more work. Bones set a little crooked. Thumb is still attached. It has good blood flow. Still has 2 pins helping the bones fuse. They should come out next week. Slow process of healing. Patience is needed. Still have some dizziness from the concussion, especially putting my head on the pillow in bed. This too takes time and rest. Very frustrating..............but at least I am still here. Thanks to every one for their good wishes and prayers. I hope to be racing next year, if we can find a suitable car. Just looking to run a 10.0 index class on a Pro tree.

Thats good news. rest as much as you can between work and therapy and hang in there. If you ever get discouraged with your progress just look back to when you were worse.
I'm glad you are still with us. PS A 10.0 car can be alot of fun with less hassle. I'm buildin something to race/cruise and do Drag Week type events. At my age(63) it seems more challenging and fun than just the weekly index/bracket race stuff. Hope you find what you are looking for. |

Good to hear your recovering well !!!
FWIW: My 69 GP is still for sale. Not sure it's your type of car but be easy to run 10's. Not as heavy as it appears. About 3,150-3,200# race weight. Be easy to pull some more weight off. Currently certified at 8.50. But it's not a 'Bird. Lol

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
