I didn't want to rattle people at a really bad time, so I'll just rattle people right now Better from me than someone else.

Last Monday I had a heart attack. They put in a stent, and the damage was minimal. I'll ask the doctor about how much racing I can do before April, but I fully expect to be at as many club events as I can, and the GRM $2005 Challange of course. Due to vainity, I posted a before/after picture of my heart on the internet at http://www.spkorb.org/heart.jpg You can see ummm... more arteries with dye in them in the "after" shot proceeding under the top artery.

Strange thing was, I got the heart attack after pushing my GRM $2002 and $2003 Challenge car up a hill. First time it ever gave me any trouble. Not quite ironic; but odd, nonetheless.

I'm doing fab, and I'm already on a diet and exersize program, so no need to ask me how I'm doing.

Glad it's still ticking and you are well. As Scott said....Holy Cow!
That was a heck of a way to get cool photos of your blod flow. Now about connecting a couple of those larger dark lines, we could have quite a road course.
Recover well and fast,
Charlie Guthrie
