That sure was a nasty that Wade was in. Saw it on Dayatthetrack.com relays. Thier was another nasty spill Saturday night at Sam Houston in which I was at the track that night. Latest that I heard is a possible broken collarbone.

Just read that -- great news.

He's a talented kid. He's not going to be a superstar, but he has the look of a jock with a pretty decent future in the Midwest and South.
