Hello all,

I am a member of Racers Reunion and neighbor and friend of Jimmy's.

I just he wanted to let everyone know that Jimmy slipped on ice this morning while getting ready to depart for his Fredericksburg, Va shows.

As he fell he caught his hand on the license plate of his truck cutting his hand severely.

He was taken to the Emergency Room where he underwent emergency surgery to repair the gash and vein in his hand. Everything went extremely well and he has been discharged and was able to return home today.

Any members close to the Fredericksburg, Va area this weekendare invited to the shows and to wish Jimmy well. As those of you who know Jimmy well and know how stubborn he is will understand that he said "the show must go on" lol. Despite the pain he is in. Any extra help this weekend to anyone living close would be welcomed.

Take care everyone and have a great rest of the week.

Sorry to hear that. Ice doesn't get any slipperier as we get older, but our reaction time gets worse. The fall alone could have laid him up for a couple of months. To cut his hand is almost as bad. I hope that he didn't catch any muscles or tendons. I don't respond to Jimmy very often but I appreciate what he does for us.

Jimmy, I hope you heal quickly. I know from experience, those license plate cuts can really be severe. Take care of yourself and rest up a bit.
