Hey guys

For all you who know Mason Andrews, (OMRAA racer, he pits with us every track/race day) he was in a really bad accident on his bike on 1-5 this morning. Last Mo and I knew, he's on life support in the ICU.

Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

Please, let's all ride safe out there ok?

Fa-huck.  Keep us up to date!

I'd be up for a hospital visit to lighten his mood once he recovers a bit.  Until then I'll send positive thoughts.

Positive thoughts to him and his family.

Hey C . . . any updates?

[Betty Rage]

Hey guys, thanks for your support and good thought, Mase really needs it right now.

He was in a medically induced coma to keep him from inadvertently ripping his tubes out of his mouth. They took him off to try to get a response from him, but he was not responding to pain or waking up.

He will be going into surgery to hopefully repair his upper arm tomorrow morning. He's pretty busted. Broken wrist, arm, shoulder blade, collar bone, and his ankle is shattered. He has some swelling in his brain and a little bleeding, they put an apparatus in his head tonight to relieve some of the pressure.

He is in stable condition, and we will not know for at least 72 hours what his recovery will look like, the swelling in his head will most likely get worse before it gets better.

At this point, we probably shouldn't have too many people there visiting, so I won't post up which hospital he is at, but I will let you guys know when he can accept more visitors.

Thanks, and again, ride safe.

So unword worthy this...

Prayers and energy to MASON (halo guy installed here. missing, what? from where?)


A family member rolled thru this misery scene early on and something destroyed a red car starting at the rear. I'm freaked of it. Mason is you/me/all us. Fight!!!

[NEIKOS]

Is that what happened?  He hit a car?

[Betty Rage]

What we think happened was this:

Mason was in the left lane, going way too fast for morning traffic. He changed into the right lane and wasn't expecting the person he changed behind to be going as slow as she was. He rear ended her and hit the back window, went over the top of the car and down the front, then hit the barrier next to the road.

Apparently he had been weaving in and out of traffic and was doing about 90 when he hit the car, she was doing about 40. But this is coming from supposed eye witnesses, so it may or may not be what was really going on.

That is too bad. I know we have all been guilty of this. Which is why I try not to ride freeway... back roads and the track... seems so much safer these days.

[NEIKOS]

Any updates?

[marvellous]

Prayers and thoughts to our fellow rider...

Please ride safe everyone..

Man thats a bummer. 

I think we are guilty of utilizing our small size in traffic, reality hurts. 

Best of luck to Mason, thats a bummer.
