Default Don Simington

Don Simington went down in a spill last night in the final race at Delta. He's now in intensive care (last I knew) with multiple injuries including broken ribs, broken collarbone, lacerated spleen, and a punctured lung.

Whenever we do events here, including trips to the local children's hospital or benefits for the backside, he's front and center. And on top of that, he's one of the leading riders in the state. A real shame, and here's to a speedy recovery.

I'll pass along any updates I hear...
