LEAVES RIBCAGE IMPRINT
On December 10th at 9:25 am (ballpark; I made up the time and the date might be wrong), Terry Eannetta, world famous (at least VCDSRS famous) KTM 950 driver from Ventura, executed a high-difficulty, multi-impact tank-slapper at Hungry Valley State Vehicular Recreation Area on (and off) his Kawasaki KX 250. Terry managed to break six ribs, one collarbone, and puncture a lung (one of his own). He scored an average 9.93. He was somewhat dissatisfied with the scoring, which was slightly downgraded by the American judge, since the flawlessly performed maneouver was executed on a flat, novice trail – and by the Bavarian judge, who noted the complete absence of a BMW in the entire SVRA at the time.
“Uuhhhnghh…” said Terry – several times – during a brief phone interview last week. Terry has been on the mend for some time and although the future looks bright, he will likely not be joining us for the next ride, and is rapidly running out of good movies to watch.
Doctors estimate it will take a minimum of 8 weeks for the worst of Terry’s injuries to heal. Terry’s work is physically demanding, but luckily, he has a significant number of sick days saved up, and plenty of ice cream in the freezer. To donate Vicadin or videos to the Terrry Eannetta Get Well Soon fund, please email the man himself and ask him for his address. Your donations are of course deductible.

Sounds like Terry is now "Fubar" . . .
Terry, sorry to hear about your mishap-- get well soon. Btw, this may be a valid excuse for wussing out of the next ride!
I may be showing up for the Skillz ride--I don't like giving Laine an excuse for writing "wussout" next to my name on the list. Thanks for the kind words.
Yeah! Broken ribs and punctured lungs and death and stuff are no excuse! Well... Maybe I should rethink that.
BTW, folks, if you don't have Google I.D.s, it might be good to sign your comments so folks know who you are... depending, of course, on what you have to say...
Hope we see you soon, Terry. BUT NOT TOO SOON! Take it easy a couple days, for Pete's sake. Right Pete?
yikes, I am just now catching up on the old news. Terry, if you wanna borrow the Whiny Charlie Boorman Races the Paris-Dakar dvd again, just ask. Also, got the (almost) entire Beavis and Butthead dvd collection if you want that. my vicadin source is on the lam (truly!) so you're on your own there...Angie
