I saw John today. He is doing well. I don't want to go into details due to what happened. I spoke to John privately about this and I explained the pros and cons. Not to be rude to a family on the forum, just trying to protect him while he is laid up. I think he should say it in his own words. I can tell you this, it will be soon. I am told that they hoping to have him out and near home tomorrow or the next day. If not, I will break him out. His wife and daughters are there.

I had him laughing, possibly causing some pain. When I told him about how people were sending prays and wishing for a speedy recovery - his eyes lit up and smiled and said that was so nice. That cheered him up a whole lot.

If you have any questions, you can send me a PM. I have been answering many without hesitation. Sunday night I had over 60 text messages and over 30 phone calls until the phone shut down.

I will say this for John "Thank you for all the thoughts and prays" - "I will be back sooner then you think, thank you"

And thankfully he did get to do some of that at least. He did run into the 10s at over 127mph on one pass I believe.
