Sonny is showing signs of improvement.
They took him off the ventilator about three hours ago and at this time he is breathing on his own.
He has a skull fracture on the left side with swelling and bleeding of the brain.
He is still not responding to anyone.
Keep those prayers coming

Wow, just reading this really makes you think about a lot of things. I don't know Sonny and have never met him. I have always admired his car, and the great video he posted showing it at speed. Things like this make you remember that there is a person behind each and every car or username on the forums. Sometimes I think that gets lost over the internet.
I truly wish the very best for Sonny, we will be keeping his family in our families thoughts, and hope they get the kind of good news to make the holiday for them.

My thoughts and prayers are with him. An accident like this is something that is always in the back of my mind, I spend alot of time on a cycle.
