I know everyone at the track last night was concerned about #23A Aaron Echols after his accident. While running and playing, his head met with a steel beam. As scarey as the situation was, he was a real trooper through it all. His prize was 19 stitches, a battle scar and a good story to tell. He came back to the track after his visit to the E.R. when the races were over and his main complaint was that he did'nt get to finish his race. I just talked to him and he is doing good. I want to thank the paramedics and everyone involved helping him. I also want to thank Aaron for being a good track manager. See everyone saturday night. Jamie
