    Where there's life, the rest can be handled. Alex Zinardi has been racing again.

    Former Arrows F1 driver Marc Surer had a similar encounter with a tree (two of them actually) in a GpB RS200 in the Hessen Rallye in '86. He survived but quit racing. His co-driver, Michel Wyder, wasn't as lucky. That was one of several accidents that resulted in the end of GpB.

    From the way it drives, I've gotten the feeling that my EVO isn't as strong as the Celica AllTrac it replaced. The AllTrac was a "real" homologation car; the EVO is a starting chassis for rally. (See the thread on converting an STi to a GpN rally car. http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=69391) These street versions won't take the abuse a WRC machine will absorb.

    Greg has bleeding in his brain and fell into a coma. So hes unconscious, and hes been that way for a few days now. But, the docs say he will pull through...

    Hey, Thomas/SkizoAce - appreciate these updates.

    These are your friends, and damn it all, they're hurting, as are their loyal friends like yourself and certainly, family.

    ______

    Dogmatic folks who've taken the time out to cluck like hens:

    This is one (just one) of those times where if you haven't got something nice to say, don't say anything at all.

    If you've never, ever, in your entire lifetime even so much as chirped a tire on a street car, congratulations... I think.

    In my lifetime, I've been a young driver and a young passenger living in the moment, flirtin' with disaster. I'd venture a guess the same can be said in all honesty by a great many folks here. All it would have taken way back when was one (just one) wrong move. That could be any one of us at any one (just one) fleeting moment of our lives.

    cluck-cluck me a Private Message if you want to rant, but save this space for what's important. Right now, somebody needs as much positive, not negative "energy" or whatever you want to call it coming their way as possible.

    There, my karma just ran over your dogma and I hope these cats feel a whole lot better and soon.
