You are right, this site is for the fans but so many racers, crew and family members read this site to keep up to date. If one of them read this and it helps them it is all worth it to me. It is a dangerous sport on the track, in the pits and in the stands so we cover it all. My wife and i run stida at nights and weekends. We both work full time jobs and we do this to help out our friends and the racing community. Next time you see your buddy jack hewitt ask him about stida and see what he says. I will leave it at that. Stida

sorry i've never heard a word about stida? What is it who owns it?

Based on reputable posts on other forums, I think Jeff's doing significantly better than initially feared & improving rapidly. I've seen reports that last Mon, he woke up, removed the feeding tube himself, was sitting up & able to converse, & improved enough to be flown to a hospital closer to home. Fred Rahmer was much more upbeat in his victory lane comments to fans this week than he was the week before. That's a fellow driver, talking directly to the fans, so I find it encouraging.

Update: Sat night at Lincoln Speedway (~25 mi N of Jeff's hometown) the drivers went into the stands with helmets & collected $7,300 from the fans. To put that in perspective. It was the regular Sat show which pays $2500 to win the regular 410 Sprint 25L feature. Tonight's 50:50 payout was ~ $1,200. Looked like a normal Sat night crowd - maybe a little bigger because they ran Twin 20's.
Should help with the Air Evac fund & other expenses. http://www.stevekingfoundation.org/

Jeff's brother Judd (a former Sprint driver himself) took the PA & provided this update - Jeff was flown to Baltimore early Sat. He's in Sinai Med Ctr (specially qual'd to provibe the rehab he needs). It's ~ :45 min from home. Parents are pulling 12 hr shifts so he's never alone, because, Judd said, "it was touch & go a couple times last week." Judd hadn't seen him since Mon in Iowa (after Thurs crash) & sounded encouraged by the progress. Jeff's now able to communicate verbally & move around with the aid of a walker, for short periods. He remembers nothing from Iowa. He has no other physical injuries. Jeff recieved 500+ email Get Well cards via the hospitals website, from all over the US & Australia.
Sounded cautiously optimistic.
