    There hasn't been much public update on his progress lately. I know he is done with therapy in KY after 16 months and he & Jordan got married in Belize and he was able to stand throughout the ceremony. Movement in his legs is still limited but slowly making progress. Recently announced he'd be back for CB 2018, and I'm not sure if the movement in his lower extremities will be sufficient by then or if they're planning to use hand controls. They mentioned walking with canes so that's a good sign, I know its a slow process.

      I was listening to KNIA radio the night of Kevin's accident. He wanted his dad to finish that race, was the word from the pits. Of course some expect Sammy to put on his white coat and stethoscope and heal his son at the hospital. Sammy has been called Superman, but not quite that super. He did what he was good at and made money to pay the Doctors.

        Thanks for the update. Especially the part about Kevin racing at the 2018 Chili Bowl. I've got a feeling that when Kevin comes out for his first heat race there'll be a roar that will lift the roof of the 11 acre shed that houses The Chili Bowl. I hope I'm there!!

            The biggest a hole in motorsports wasn't just based on that one action more like 25 years of actions... That was just the pinnacle. Pretty sure he blew up in the first few laps of that race after the incident.

              I don't particularly like Sammy and there is plenty to go after Sammy for, but the fact that he did exactly what his son told him to do definitely isn't one of them. It's a baseless claim made by a known and many times confirmed crack pot who somehow is silly and self important enough to take issue with something that is purely none of anyone's business.

              Sammy can, has been, and in all likelyhood will again be an a$$hole, but in this case the obvious a$$hole wasn't/isn't Sammy. Can anyone guess who is?

                            Ken Schraeder is nowhere near the size of JD. If JD has a wreck he could be seriously injured, especially in the legs. I would put some padding on those bars in the cokpit of that ride. His knees are gonna be beat to death. I'm still not counting JD out. There is a million and 6 cars there so he is gonna have to wheel up in qualifying and heat races. I know the open wheel cars are another bear but JD has skills on the predominantly dominant cushion. Checkers or wreckers guaranteed. Im pulling for him and TMac both.

                              There isn't much room in one of those Midgets. I helped on one in the early 60s and knees against steering sector, wouldn't let me sit to even push the car off. The worse part is, you sit upright and feet are tucked under. You have a terrible time being smooth with the gas. just can't pick your toes off the floor, till you get limbered up. You don't see many tall Midget drivers. Try it.

                                Be interesting to see how schatz does for 1st time. He's got to have big weight disadvantage compared to most.
