    Tal was Medivac'd out of CMP today

    It can happen very easily, I had brake failure at Road Atlanta going into 10a with Siegel in the car, I got lucky.

    Hopefully Tal will be ok, I'm trying to find out more info now. If I hear anything Ill update this thread.

    I am going to try to get hold of his wife. If I can and she does not mind me updating everybody I will.

    Good news.

    I just got off the phone with Tal. He broke a bone in his back but should recover fully.

    I'll post more later about what/how it happened.

    A couple of things actually, Scott and I were both instructing and we had some friends helping prep the car between sessions, someone left the cap off the resivor so by the time we got around to 10a the system had sucked a bunch of air. I went to the brakes coming down the fill and got nothing but floorboard. It was pretty scary we I slid it in pretty hard and scrubbed off enough speed that we were able to get it slowed down and back on track right after 10b.

    As all of you know .. We got great news this morning at the drivers meeting. That he was in good shape and got moved out of the ER, and is doing well.

    Thanks to everyone in NASA-SE, CMP EMTs, and workers that took care of him yesterday.

    that is some scary shit, i'm glad he got out okay(i.e. alive), but a back injury is no small matter-he could be in pain for the rest of his life. let's all hope/pray that isn't the case.

    This was not a good weekend for us subaru owners, I blew the motor in my 2.5 rs and spun Mikes (mes50w) car into the tire wall in the kink.

    I'm glad to hear Tal wasn't more seriously injured and hope he makes a full and fast recovery.

    Just got off the phone with Tal and he is in much better spirits today.

    He was fitted with a brace and was able to walk on his own and is not experiencing any numbness.

    Things are as good as one could possibly hope for :)
