racegirl04 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 (edited) Prayers go out to the family and team of Eric Medlen. If you don't know, he was injured Monday in a testing run at Gainesville the day after the Gatornationals. One of his tires blew and he hit the wall nearly head on. Can't believe these dragstrips still have concrete on either side of the drivers. Edited March 23, 2007 by racegirl04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandBox_Kid Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 That sucks.....Prayers from my family to his during this troubling time. They need to look at things like the "safer barrier" that is now in use at the speedways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racegirl04 Posted March 24, 2007 Author Share Posted March 24, 2007 His father said the decision to take him off of life support was what Eric wanted, so they must have discussed it at one time. I can't believe he is gone. He was such a burst of energy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
