Racer—Update on
Skip Bradley As most of you know my buddy Skip
crashed his bike on March 1st while practicing for an AHRMA
race at Daytona Motor Speedway. Along with multiple upper
body and facial fracture he also suffered major head trauma.
While skip has been making progress everyday he is still in
a coma. The good news is that he is starting to move around
a lot more plus reacting to people with hand squeezes. He is
also starting to open his eye but has yet to focus on
anyone. The bad news is he now has Pneumonia but they say
it's common in such cases.
Skip's wife Jan has been in Daytona since the
night of the crash...that's three week away from their kids
and her work. The goal at this point is to get skip well
enough for an Air Ambulance flight back to Houston and raise
some money to help offset some of the cost of the flight as
Insurance will not cover it. We are humbly asking for help
in the form of Donations that can be made through PayPal to
Jan's email account jan@bradleymachinery.com.
Please send a little if you can or say a prayer for Skip if
you can't. I truly feel that he gets a little better every
time someone says a prayer for him so thank you for all the
prayers he has received and please keep the up! Please pass
this on if possible.
Scott Ward
PS: I would like
to personally thank Dean Kurtz and all the people at
Guest-Services for International Speedway Corp for bending
over backwards to help Jan out on her stay at the Hospital.

Passing of a Friend ~ Toby Morriss Update
It is with great sadness that we must announce that
Toby Morriss, injured in a hit & run accident on
Sunday, February 21, 2010, passed away this past
Sunday, February 28th.
Toby, wearing full protective
clothing, was riding his father’s BMW and was
stationary at a stoplight. A Ford Ranger truck cut
the corner striking Toby on his left side.
Witnesses were unable to obtain a tag number. Left
bleeding and unconscious, Toby suffered two
fractured ribs, chipped neck vertebrae, and crushed
left wrist. The latter required surgery. Details
are scarce, but it appears the cause of death was a
pulmonary embolism. No funeral arrangements are
known at this time.
Toby was enjoying his first full
season of AHRMA events, and the day before his
accident had won is class in trials and
cross-country at Aonia Pass, Washington, GA. He
didn’t drink, smoke, eat meat or fish, and took
great care of himself. A good friend to many of us,
always willing to help out when one’s bike was sick,
he will be greatly missed.

Attention Dirt Trackers!!!!
In the
February/March issue of Vintage Views on page 32, we swapped
the headings and information for the Neeses, SC and Aonia
Pass, GA dirt track events.
The dates are
correct - but the information listed for Neeses is really
for Aonia and vice versa. Make sure you note this when
plannign for these events.
Sorry for this confusion!
