A day at the races we will try to forget. The excitement of running the big Spoon River Speedway and the 60 plus mph speeds bit us. Blaise was running in the top 10 when he was pushed up into the marbles and backed it into the concrete wall at nearly full speed. Somehow, someway, other than a concussion, he walked away with plenty of pain but only minor bumps and bruises. He was knocked out and remembers none of it, and as a racer that's probably best. The kart is destroyed, his helmet took a hit to the concrete wall, but he lives to race another day.
Thank you to the track staff, fellow racers and friends who stopped by, called or have sent messages to check on him. 🏁
