Friday Practice Driver status?

Friday at the 25-hour practice day session a driver had a pretty serious rollover accident. Usually NASA is very good about making an announcement either the same day or the next about the drivers condition.

Hoping he's ok. Any updates?

I talked to a team member saturday morning saying he was being released from the hospital. Had a concussion, but I was told he is doing well.

I was one of the other drivers (and coach) on the Kiwi team...The New Zealand driver, Richard Gee is doing much better. He suffered a concussion, sprained ankle and bruised leg. When I brought him to the airport on Sunday, he was still a little woozy. It was scary for a moment. At the hospital, he did not remember racing, nor being at the track. At the time, he only remembered arriving in America, and that was a week prior.

 

we have some video from our car of the end of the Aussie team roll over once I get it edited down I'll post it

 

Lol, the New Zealanders get offended when people call them "Aussies" or Australians...as they are "Kiwis"...I learned the hard way

 

I have the incar video of the crash. Horrible and scary to watch as the car rolled 4 times and landed upside down.

 

Pictures of the car and the team can be seen on my facebook page (no log in needed)

Iv'e been in contact with Peter Webster from the team and sent him copies of the video from our in car,for their use. I also appoligised for confusing them with the Australians, Darren Law's sister, Rae was with our team I blame it on her if I could figure out how to post a video here I would,but it's on you tube
