Vincent Haskovec seriously injured!

[Jonesie]

Guys,

If you haven't heard about AMA racer Vincent Haskovec; Vincent had an accident that has now left him paralized from the chest (T5) down. Vincent hit a steel barrier at Infinion Raceway that was only covered by tires. He was then hit by his motorcycle. Airfence most likely would have reduced his injuries significantly. There is a website set up for Vincent: www.getwellvincent.com

His team/family/friends encourage everyone to write.

I haven't heard any new news, which can't be good. Assuming he does recover fully, he has a long tough road ahead. :(
