Default SonnyinVA needs our prayers

My good friend and fellow CF member Sonny Parks (SonnyinVA) needs our prayers. Sonny was involved in a motorcycle accident late last night. He's in ICU right now on life support with brain injuries.


Saw this on another thread. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1575432


For those that dont know Sonny has a C4 with a 383 stoker in and does the Maxton Mile.

Oh my! What a fine individual.

After all those speed events he participated in at Maxon, then to get hurt on a motorcyle!

He's in my thoughts.

There is favorable news from GB Vette as of 15:21 today

He is still not responding to anyone.

Keep those prayers coming

Tell him not to give up, I am recovering from brain cancer surgery and doing very well.

Our prayers are with Sonny and for a speedy recovery.

The calls, cards and visits from my extended Corvette Family meant a lot to me and really helped my recovery.

All you folks in the area need to make an effort to get to the hospital and offer Sonny all the encouragement you an provide him
