2nd and an accident

The races were crazy last night!

I think Joe got second in his heat and then in the feature he took second. His car had a broken something or other so it held him back a tad. He sure tried to get up and around Dave a few times.

In the middle of the racing night there was a dash for cash against the track owner who also has a dwarf car. If you could bet him you would get $100. Jim was flying and ended up spinning but then got started right back up. He came around 1 into 2 when he went on 2 wheels and then the rolling started. It was horrible. He went way up in the air and then landed on his wheels. Joe ended up running over there (he did not participate in the race) when he saw how bad it was. While they were trying to get Jim out Joe held is head as still as he could and kept talking to Jim. It took them a long time to get him out. They ended up taking him by ambulance (Joe road with him) down the road where a life flight picked him up and took him to San Antonio to the Army hospital. When he left he could not feel anything from his nipples down and was in quite the pain. We have had no update today. Shock a lot of the guys up pretty badly, in fact Brad and Brice did not even race after that. Joe ended up making it back in time though and said Jim would want him to race so he did it for him. Amazingly I was nervous but I had been more nervous then that many other times.

We are headed to get something to eat in a tad bit then home to take a nap as Joe "might" work tonight. I think there is 5 nurses on the schedule so unless there is a lot of babies he won't work :-(

UPDATE:
They say Jim has a broken shoulder and a dislocated shoulder. He has yet to regain feeling but they say it is early in the healing process so really cannot tell what will happen. He is already telling his buddies who help at the track what needs to be done for the next races.
