I will join with others in saying how great it will be to get John back in a racecar and so gratefull that his strong will (and some of our prayers) got him thru this difficult recovery, bob.
Racers like John are what is missing from the sport now days. John raced 1/4 midgets before roll cages were invented. He was brought up with respect for the race cars, race tracks, race officials, and his fellow racers. Kids take their safety for granted now. More dangerous getting to the track than the racing itself. Because of that we now watch a bunch of stupid stuff happening on the race track. This week in particular.
There is nothing more awe inspiring than watching a driver setting up his opponent and then executing a perfect pass. It would sure be great if John could take a few more kids and teach them the art of racing right.
