Request for Drivers, crew members, and owners.

Thought I’d start a new thread for this request. Friend and longtime IOW and all around Super Fan Jim Georges is going thru a rough time and I thought this could cheer him up.

Visited with Jim today for about a hour and a half. He's been transferred to a long term rehab facility here in Evansville. Spirits are still good, but he's got a long road ahead. I got him a phone installed in the room and the number is 812.421.2523 Unfortunately, he somehow poked a hole in the middle of his tongue and they had to stitch it up today, so the Dr. doesn't want him talking a lot ( maybe they did that on purpose when he was sleeping ). First thing i noticed when I walked in was a pad of paper and he had drawn a sprint car in red ink on it. No wings of course, gotta love that. Give him a few days if you want to call.

If there's any drivers or team members that read this, I think it would be awesome if they could send him a hero card, sticker, can coozie, or if you got a old 2XL shirt getting dusy, I know this would mean a ton to him and raise his spirits. Doesn’t matter if your a 410 sprint, mini sprint, modified, or wings, ect…..He is the Super fan of all Super fans. It would also be great if IOW members could send him a card or letter. Thanks to all that have contacted him already. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

Yes, I’m here now. Big thanks to Dave Argabright for the autographed book.

Jim was able to stand up today, twice!! With help of course and for just a brief moment. It’s progress and was great to see.

Let's hope there's plenty of pictures & big print in that book.😉

Thanks for keeping us posted Chief. Called Jim last night. He sounded good.

Jim has been moved again. His new number 812.421.2506 and room 206

Well Jim has changed rooms twice since my last post he is now currently in room 206. He had a set back that required them to take him back to Deaconess, but now he’s back at Select Speciality Hospital. When I get the new number I’ll post it. Planning on a visit Wednesday.
