One photo worked....lucky dude for sure!

Guy I worked with for about 5 years raced just about anything. Lots of battle scars.

About 15 years ago he wrecked in a motocross race - broke both ankles bad and spent 6 months in a wheelchair, was told he would probably never walk again.

He proved them wrong and switched from bikes to open class dirt track late models. Was pretty good at that and was offered a driver position in non-winged sprints and did both for a number of years.

He gave it up about 4 years ago and went back to motocross because his sons started running them. A guy talked him into running his non winged sprint last year and about 6 weeks into the series was racing after a pretty good rain - they had worked the track but his front right caught going around a corner and he catapulted into the air - there is video catching the wreck showing the car flipping end over end six times and it was as high as the lights on the light poles. Landed on its top and he crawled out and felt something wrong in his neck.

Broke three of his vertebrae and now has a steel rod down both side of his neck. Can’t turn his neck side to side and can’t look up. He travels every weekend with his boys and has a shop about 1/2 mile down the road from our new house. I stopped in last week and he is thinking about buying another motorcycle...his wife isn’t happy 😂
