Graphic photos As many of you may have seen I have gotten injured again breaking my femur. It’s disappointing for me to say that once again. Surgery went well and I’m doing better then I expected. A little over a year and a week since my last injury. I’m very great full for the doctors at the track, everyone that has stopped by and reached out. Thank you! I’m getting out of the hospital here shortly heading to the airport to fly back to California. Thank you to everyone that has been supportive this season bummed to see it cut short. We’ll be back.
