That's right, my 13 y/o daughter broke my leg. No more chasing her and the dogs through the house like a mad-man I guess. At least not until this heals. She was the instigator when I severely rolled my ankle, so she's to blame.

On a positive note, my right foot and leg will come back stonger, faster, and will be even more of a threat at the track.

I don't think it broken. Ice it for 20 minutes, I mean put your foot and leg up to the knee in a trash can of ice water. Tomorrow alternate 20 minutes of ice with 20 minutes of warm water. You'll be chasing young girls and dogs again before you know it.

I wish that was the case. I had it x-ray'd yesterday and the Fibula is fractured at the bottom. Luckily everything is alligned well enough that I only have to wear a boot for a few weeks.

Ouch that sucks... Did you eventually catch them? You never said. I hope your daughter is punished now. Joking of course. I hope you recover quick, but if you need a driver to race your car feel free to fly me down from NY I'll help you out.

I'm definitely a little bummed about not being able to race this weekend. I'd done crazy prep too. I removed the passenger seat (100lbs) the rear lower seats (10lbs), floor mats, all rear gear (spare tire, jack, cover, etc). I even jacked up the car and drained excess fuel from the tank.

And Rich, if I flew you down you'd probably show me up by running faster than me in my own car. Can't have that.
