Title: Rider Down *Updated*
Post by: Paul_S on March 20, 2010, 09:49:39 PM
A good friend to many on here, certainly most of you that come out to the plex..Travis on the red 400 had a really bad crash today on the track.

He was practicing for tomorrows FTR MX race and cased the step up in the back.

He is hurt pretty bad. As it stands right now, he appears to have broken 3 vertebrae and is having an operation on tuesday. Until then, they are keeping him in a coma.

Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

any word on travis? How did the surgery go?


Title: Re: Rider Down *Updated*
Post by: Paul_S on March 24, 2010, 06:00:10 PM
Well, they wouldn't let us see Travis today, he came out of surgery on Tuesday, but is still mostly unconscious and is in ICU.

They found his back was broken in 9 places and it looks unlikely that he will walk again.

We are going to try and see him early next week.

Its Melissa from NY. Please when you do get to see him to tell him the Eames Family from NY is praying for him and his daughter. We are always sad to hear when something like this happens, but it's always so much worse when it is someone that you knew or met and spent some time with. He is an extremely nice guy, and a wonderful father, and I will pray for his full recovery. Thanks so much.

Melissa, Jeff, Davis and devyn Eames

Well said Melissa. Paul please let him know Kyle, Bobby and myself are thinking about him and his little girl too. I have a daughter the same age and I cant even imagine how tough this must be on her.
